You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The Government sets the national curriculum for maintained schools in England, but it is up to individual schools how to deliver this.
The statutory guidance for Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) states that effective RSE should "support people, throughout life, to develop safe, fulfilling and healthy sexual relationships, at the appropriate time." The RSE curriculum does not encourage early sexual experimentation.
It is also not a requirement in the RSE guidance that masturbation is taught in schools, although individual schools may choose to cover this topic. Therefore this subject matter would be the responsibility of the individual schools, rather than Government or Parliament.
