The compelling need to formally establish guidelines for Comprehensive Sexuality Education in EFL

Abstract

In this article we intend to denounce the educational need based on the implementation of Comprehensive Sexual Education (CSE) in English as a foreign language lesson both in primary and in high school. Although the National Law 26,150 was passed in Argentina more than a decade ago, and many resolutions have been put forward expressing the sole purpose to adhere to the already mentioned law there are still numerous hindrances to the adoption of CSE in English classes, which are depicted mainly due to the absence of national guidelines. In addition to this, as in Santa Fe, CSE is only treated and considered a programme, there is a lack of various and suitable suggestions to take into account for the development and design of the English syllabus with a non-sexist curriculum throughout primary and secondary levels.
