Sex education is reportedly to be removed from the school curriculum according to plans of the Greek Education Ministry. This was decided upon recommendations by the ministry’s Institute of Educational Policy (IEP) to scrap the chapter on human reproduction out of biology textbooks provided at fresh year high schools across the country, wrote Ta Nea daily, adding that the Greek Association of Bio-scientists already criticized the decision with a statement. “Obviously, with this decision you remove the only opportunity high school students have to learn about the (human) reproductive system”, noted the Association and stressed further that this directive, initiated by the Institute of Educational Policy, is against a recent decision by Education Minister Andreas Loverdos to implement the Social School, whose aim, among other is to provide sex education.
