The new legislation is important "to give consideration to the significant welcome changes that have taken place in Ireland".
These changes will focus on the LGBTQI+ community in Ireland, as well as those with intellectual disabilities.
Currently, all schools in Ireland are required to teach sexual education, but the ethos of a school can influence how the subject is taught.
And when one considers how many schools in Ireland are run by the Catholic Church, this change in legislation is certainly a good one.
One major thing that committee wants discussed in the new curriculum is the issue of consent, which is currently only "touched on."
This is certainly a step in the right direction for the young people of this country.
