Education Minister Dustin Duncan says the changes are meant to standardize policies across school divisions and came in response to complaints from parents.
Saskatchewan Education Minister Dustin Duncan announced the changes Tuesday.
The province announced Tuesday that going forward, parents must be informed about the sexual health education curriculum offered in their children's schools and have the option to decline their children's participation. The province also announced that all boards of education must immediately pause any involvement with any third-party organization connected to sexual health education while the Ministry of Education undertakes a review of "educational resources to ensure alignment with curriculum outcomes."The policy shift comes after anin June, where a Grade 9 student picked up graphic sex ed material left behind by Planned Parenthood after members of the organization presented to their health class.
He said the Lumsden-Morse byelection, which saw the Sask Party retain the seat but lose ground to the Saskatchewan United Party, sent a message that his government would be listening to loud and clear.
