Puberty Sexual Education For Boys And Girls 1991 Belgium 2021

In Belgium, the 1990s and 2000s saw the gradual decentralization and formalization of sexual education. The French Community (Wallonia-Brussels Federation) and the Flemish Community developed their own progressive approaches, moving away from the Catholic-influenced "natural law" frameworks. Key milestones included the 2002 law in the French Community making sex education compulsory at all levels of primary and secondary school, albeit with a broad interpretation. This legislation forced schools to move beyond the single biology lesson in 6th grade.
