There's uncertainty over whether a newly proposed sex education curriculum has assigned topics across the appropriate age and stage. 

The Government's new curriculum will see children learning about puberty in Year 5 and menstruation in Year 6.

He believes it would be more beneficial talking about menstrual cycles in the younger years and include the boys too.
