What the petition asks
We want the Government to make sex education a compulsory GCSE subject in schools.
Sex Education in schools has almost been seen as an unnecessary subject and may not even be taught by teachers with suitable training. We believe that Sex Education should be treated as a far more important subject as it is the only subject that all students will use in the future. We agreed that the best way to do this is to make it a compulsory GCSE subject so that all students will receive a good sex education.
