Secondary school education in England will include teachings on incel culture and the connection between pornography and misogyny. Schools will focus on countering negative myths about women and promote positive role models for boys while avoiding stigmatization. New data indicates a rise in misogynistic attitudes among pupils, with significant numbers reporting exposure to such comments. The education secretary emphasizes the need to prepare students for harmful content. The updated curriculum aims to instill resilience and support mental health awareness, including suicide prevention discussions among students.
According to new data from the Department for Education, more than half of pupils aged 11-19 reported hearing misogynistic comments in the last week alone. This highlights the urgent need for updated educational guidance to address these attitudes.
Education secretary Bridget Phillipson stated that children today face an overwhelming amount of harmful content, including unrealistic expectations from social media influencers. The goal of the new RSHE curriculum is to help students develop resilience against such content.
