Quo vaids, sex education in Poland?

Summary/Abstract: Institutionalization of sex education in Poland and the constitution of content for classes: Family life eduaction are processes which have been accompanied by a keen interest from politicians of various options over recent years. Both processes constituted a specific element of the discourse of power, part of which became the striving to create in students a "specific" approach to sexuality, and with it the socially desirable effects "in the field of sexuality”. The treatment of these two areas in the category of "connected vessels" is accompanied by the appearance of a specific area of analysis in this article. Its separation was used to describe the characteristics of socio-demographic policy and to subject the content of the core curriculum to analyzes: Family life education in junior high and high school in the period between 1999 and 2014. I assumed that the core curriculum not only serves as a text defining the scope of the problem, which should be included in the textbook, but also reflects the beliefs of the dominant social groups on socio-demographic issues. Therefore, the aim of the undertaken considerations is to follow the tendencies present in socio-demographic policy and penetrate to the core curriculum, and also to reconstruct its meanings. These analyzes were the result of inspiration from the research proposal of Norman Fairclough, falling into the field of research relating to language (in) education. The considerations undertaken became the basis for formulating conclusions referring to the present and the future of school sex education.
