Sexuality, consent and relationships in the Swedish Curricula

There is a long history of sexuality education in Sweden. Compulsory sexuality education was introduced in Swedish schools in 1955. Since 2011, terms such as sexuality, relationships, gender, gender equality and norms have been included in several of the course and subject syllabuses for compulsory and upper secondary school and adult education. This means that the responsibility for including sexuality education falls on several teachers and that it will be incorporated into multiple courses and subjects. In 2022, the Swedish curricula was amended to include new texts regarding gender equality and comprehensive sexuality education.
The area was renamed to sexuality, consent and relationships.
