Abstract

Although the 2022 compulsory education curriculum revision incorporates former experience and improves curriculum plans and standards, the curriculum design content of compulsory education for middle and high school students in the key stage of adolescent development is still dominated by examination subjects, supplemented by comprehensive subjects. Compared with the curriculum content in western countries, China’s revised compulsory education curriculum plan does not include sex education as a compulsory course. However, with the rapid development of media technology and the increasingly younger age of students accessing the internet, the necessity of sex education has become increasingly prominent. This paper mainly discusses whether the revolution of the curriculum in China should focus on sex education, and finds that it is necessary to consider the needs and significance of the sex education curriculum while implementing the new curriculum plan because exposing students to sex education at a critical time can not only help them identify inappropriate pornographic content on the internet, but also establish correct gender and sexual concepts, which will help students respect others and protect themselves.
