Sexual education is introduced in Poland as wellness education. Recently, under the influence of protests, Minister of Education Barbara Nowacka stated that the subject would not be mandatory to begin with. However, will the anticipation of leaving the class solve the problem? Western examples show that sex lessons in schools, even optional, pose immense risks to children and adolescents. The effects of sexual education are lamentable.
The Ministry of Education's trick
The government plans to introduce a fresh subject – wellness education. This information sparked protests, especially among parents and teachers. There have been articles, petitions and demonstrations that opposed the plans of the Ministry of Education. wellness education is not only intended to cover physical wellness issues but besides permissive sexual and social education. No wonder that parents considered the fresh object an abuse and the planned content to be contrary to basic moral and educational standards. The introduction of this subject to schools can lead to many problems in educating a young generation.
In early 2025, it was announced that wellness education would be optional. The Ministry wants us to consider it a success. Nevertheless, there are doubts as to whether we can actually consider the MEN decision as a good solution.
Elections are coming, and it can be suspected that the government is changing its position only to calm the public. They most likely want to get support in the campaign.
The Effects of Sexual Education in Europe
Looking at the experience of another countries, specified as United Kingdom Or Sweden, we see the effects of sex education. Liberal content in schools leads to dramatic consequences. There are more and more dramas among young people in Britain. There is sexual violence, abortion among teenagers, or parenting at the age of 12 or 13. The data on abortion in a teenager is alarming. The United Kingdom ultimate Court permits abortions in 13-year-old girls. Since akin cases go to court, it is the best proof that sex lessons in schools give effect in the form of deficiency of work and morality among youths.
In Wales in 2014, he raped a classmate immediately after his sexual education class. First he asked her if she wanted to effort sex. erstwhile she refused, he dragged her to the bathroom and utilized her there. After all, he threw it at her: now you can go.
Sweden: School rape, guilty victim
In turn, in Sweden, cases of sexual force have been reported in schools where perpetrators were the same age as the victims. In 2023, in 1 case, the school, even though it knew about the rape, did not take appropriate action. She did not transfer the unsub to another class, which led to further traumatic experiences in the victim. A classmate raped an 11-year-old Oscar in the school yard. The incidental was interrupted by a teacher. Nevertheless, the manager felt that Oskar should inactive be in the same class as the perpetrator.My boy doesn't want to go to school after what happened. But school doesn't listen. They're threatening to study me to Social Services. – the parent of the injured boy reported. In the case described, the school's directorate was deaf to the problem of a utilized student and did not even want to justify his abstinence caused by fear of a violent colleague. Victim treated worse than the unsub.
Non-compulsory wellness education is besides a threat
Sexual education not only does not defend children, but it can put them in danger. Even if in Poland it is possible to fight for wellness education to be optional, it will stay a threat.
It is essential to stand firm against all tests introduction of wellness education to Polish schools. Formal teaching should be in line with values that Polish families profess. These values are respect for life, tradition and Christian moral norms. And sex lessons, even if called wellness education, have terrible consequences.
