Mr. Flook: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if she will establish abstinence as the starting point for all sex
education lessons; and if she will make a statement. [216438]
Derek Twigg: The Government believes that all young people should receive a balanced programme of sex and relationship education
(SRE) at school, which encourages them to delay sexual activity until they are ready and prepares them to make responsible choices
about their relationships when they do become sexually active.
In 2000, DfES issued guidance to schools on the teaching of SRE. Schools are required to adhere to the principles set out in the
guidance, which makes clear that pupils should learn the reasons for delaying sexual activity and the benefits to be gained from
such delay.
