Teaching to resume after Easter before full rollout later this year
The Isle of Man's Relationships and Sex Education curriculum will be reintroduced across all Island schools by September 2024.
Education Minister Daphne Caine confirmed in Tynwald this morning that the teaching of the subject will resume for some year groups after the Easter holidays, before a full rollout in the next academic year.
Sex education classes were suspended in February 2023 following concerns over the nature of the material being taught.
The reintroduction is coming a year late though, after the Department of Education, Sport and Culture promised the lessons would be back by September last year, and then delayed the roll out again until 'early 2024'.
Parents will have access to the course material in advance, as Minister Daphne Caine explains:
£41K spent on encouraging people to shop local
Baton of Hope to come back to Isle of Man
CoC 'keen' for continuity of sidecar racing at TT
2026 Manx Grand Prix to begin today
