Summary
Sexual education (SE) started in Sweden in 1955, when it became mandatory in schools. In the 1970s and 1980s, more Western European countries adopted it – first other Scandinavian countries, then other European nations such as Germany (1968) and Austria (1970). In the Netherlands and Switzerland, SE began in the 1970s but was not yet a mandatory subject. The introduction continued during the rest of the century, first in France and the United Kingdom, and from there it spread further. In only a few European countries has SE not yet been introduced in schools.
