| Description | The paper focuses on the preparation of future teachers for sexual and reproductive health education at the Faculty of Education, Masaryk University. Education in this area is provided primarily by the Department of Physical Education and Health Education and forms part of the preparation of students in the bachelor’s degree programme focused on Health Education. However, the importance of this preparation extends beyond this particular teaching specialisation. Every kindergarten, primary, or secondary school teacher may encounter questions from children and adolescents concerning sexuality, relationships, physical development, or reproductive health in their teaching practice and should therefore possess at least basic competencies for sensitive and factual communication on these topics. The importance of timely and systematic education in sexual and reproductive health is emphasised by the Standards for Sexuality Education in Europe. The paper therefore focuses not only on opportunities for preparing future teachers within the Health Education study programme, but also on the availability of this topic in other teacher education programmes at the Faculty of Education, Masaryk University. The aim of the paper is to present the current opportunities for educating future teachers in this area at the Faculty of Education, Masaryk University, highlight its importance, and identify opportunities for further development of teacher preparation across individual study programmes. |
