Education Minister Norma Foley has stressed that pornography will not be shown or taught in schools as part of the new Junior Cert sex-ed programme.
The National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA) published the long-awaited details of the new Social Personal and Health Education (SPHE) programme for Junior Cert students today.
The four main pillars of the programme will be “understanding myself and others”, “emotional wellbeing”, “making health choices” and “relationships and sexuality”.
