Abstract

State involvement in the sexual education of children and adolescents is postulated through sexual education policies. In the last decade three sexual education policies were implemented in Puerto Rico. These policies are called "Department of Education Public Schools' Sexual Health Education Public Policy" and were implemented in the years 2004, 2011 and 2012. This article discusses these three sexual education policies. While a new policy overrides the other, it's becoming more evident the implications of a conservative State. When comparing these policies, it is observed the declining attention to the sexual education needs of children and adolescents in Puerto Rico.
