National Sexuality Education Standards

The National Sexuality Education Standards are guidelines designed to provide a framework for comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) in schools. They outline what students should know and be able to do regarding sexual health, relationships, and personal safety at various developmental stages. The goal is to equip young people with the knowledge and skills to make informed decisions, understand their bodies, and respect others. Developed by educators and health professionals, these standards aim to promote healthy behaviors, reduce sexual risks, and foster positive attitudes towards sexuality in a safe and inclusive environment.
