Recommendation
Review the national educational curriculum and ensure that teachers provide comprehensive, science-based sexuality education appropriate for students of all ages.

In Japan, sexuality education is already provided from various perspectives corresponding to the developmental stages of pupils, based on the National Curriculum Standard.
