No. 21 (11): Agreement and divergence in sexual education. July-December 2020

Secular education acquired the status of a Constitutional principle in Mexico a hundred years ago. However, sexual education policies have been developed progressively through the struggles between social actors and responses to emerging situations when faced with demographic or public health issues, and have also been part of a democratization and cultural change process that has transformed views on sexuality and the phenomena involved in it.

Nevertheless, this is a relevant issue. Research on sexual education is still a seldom explored field, although some research on analysis of the curricula, educational interventions and ideological debate around sexual education in recent years have contributed to a better understanding of what happens in society at large, beyond the boundaries of the school.
