A Manitoba health curriculum overhaul now includes sex education, officials confirmed, as the province also mandates in-person physical education for students from kindergarten through Grade 12. The confirmation came from a spokesperson for Education Minister Tracy Schmidt, who told CBC News that sex ed is part of the updated health curriculum unveiled earlier this week. The announcement situates sex education within broader changes designed to update how health and physical education are taught across all grade levels. The reform emphasizes in-person instruction for physical education, while specifying that sex education will be included in the revised health curriculum. Further details about the scope, content, and implementation timeline of the updated curriculum were not provided in the confirmed statement.
