A statement published on the UK government website indicated that the authorities intend to ban gender identity lessons in schools. The statement said, "The controversial theory of gender identity will no longer be taught." The government also plans to set an upper age limit for sexual education classes "to prevent children from being exposed to materials they cannot understand due to their immaturity." It was noted that this subject will not be taught before the fifth grade, and at this stage, education will be approached strictly from a scientific perspective. The updated guidelines prepared by the UK Department of Education are set to undergo several discussions and consultations. After their approval, schools will be required to adhere to these provisions when organizing the educational process.
