Educación sexual con enfoque de género en el currículo de la educación obligatoria en España: avances y situación actual.

The curricular transformations and the legislative changes occurred in the Spanish context do not seem to have addressed the demands that key organizations such as OMS or UNESCO have made about sex education. In the specific context of Spanish Secondary Compulsory Education, the present article taps into the past and present of concepts such as the body, emotions, interpersonal relationships and issues linked to equality and gender. To this end, we conducted a review of the educational legislation from the LGE of 1970 to the current LOMCE with a view to tapping into the most important implications of these legislative frameworks. This article also aims to picture the reality of the academic framework of sexology and sex education looked at as areas of knowledge, highlighting the most significant trends. Finally, we map out the current situation of sexual education as a theoretical body in secondary education. We also highlight the keys which might encourage the incorporation of sex education in the educational curriculum and in the initial and continuous training programs for education professionals.
