Education Secretary Gillian Keegan proposes age limits on sex education in England, banning teaching under 9 and restricting gender identity discussions until 13.

Education Secretary Gillian Keegan will propose new guidelines setting age limits on sex education, with schools in England set to be banned from teaching sex education to children under nine. The guidelines will also prevent children from being taught they can change their gender identity and rule out explicit conversations about sex until the age of 13. The government believes that clearer guidance will provide support for teachers and reassurance for parents.
