Mr. Eamonn Moran:

My colleague already mentioned that in respect of the topics taught in the RSE programme provided at primary level, there are two strands entitled Myself and Myself and Others. The options include self-identity, growing and changing, birth and new life, personal safety, feelings and emotions, relating to others and making decisions, and awareness of changes in the human life cycle. At post-primary level, the programme covers three themes: human growth and development, human sexuality and human relationships, covering areas such as puberty, sexual organs, adolescence, feelings and emotions, personal safety, the implications of sexual activity, conception, pregnancy and birth-----
