Consultation on the Curriculum and Assessment (Wales) Bill
Evidence submitted to the Children, Young People and Education Committee for Stage 1 scrutiny of the Curriculum and Assessment (Wales) Bill.
Individual
1. The Bill’s general principles
1.1 Do you support the principles of the Curriculum and Assessment (Wales) Bill?
No
1.2 Please outline your reasons for your answer to question 1.1
(we would be grateful if you could keep your answer to around 1500 words)
1. RSE is being mandated for with little explanation or documentation to back up this huge & important change.
2. There is evidence of a global roll out of sexuality Education which I believe you people are unaware of, if you are aware then I am afraid you are complicit in child sexual exploitation, this is not welcome in our country and is also a criminal offence.
3. The evidence to support the global roll out was carried out on mostly third world countries.
4. Explanatory notes refer to England where a pilot scheme began encouraging sexual stimulation in 4 year olds, this package is directly from The United Nations, but you guys should already know this, why else would you risk this behaviour or mandate for such a subject from age 3.
5. Lack of Safeguarding & widespread training, therefore a negligent service throughout.
6. Mandated subjects are English, Welsh, RVE & RSE, do you honestly believe these 4 subjects are relevant for adult life & how to function in society? It is a load of nonsense.
7. The Bill makes no provision for parents to be able to withdraw their children from RVE or RSE. I believe this is a breach of parents’ rights to respect for their religious and philosophical convictions under Article 2 Protocol 1 (right to education) and their right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion under Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
8. You forgot to inform parents that children have sexual and reproductive rights. Part of this RSE is for children to exercise these rights over parents, I’m not sure you even know these exist.
1.3 Do you think there is a need for legislation to deliver what this Bill is trying to achieve?
