It'll be September 2024 at the earliest before changes are introduced to the Junior Cycle sex and relationships programme.
Pornography, consent and gender stereotyping are among the topics to be added to the SPHE and RSE curriculum, with a draft programme to be published by the Department of Education today.
The curriculum hasn't been updated since 1997.
