Sažetak
No national school program ever caused so much aggression and totalitarian struggle among different interest lobbies, as it happened with the recently introduced program for Health/Sex school education. The article presents a detailed analysis of the program of health education in the schools before and after the decision of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Croatia, showing the program’s hidden side. The current program of sex education is set in the wider context of the existing programs of the health/sex education proposed by the association GROZD (The voice of the parents for the children) and by the Forum for the liberty of education. Both programs are critically examined.
Taking into account the differences between the current program and the scientific, cultural, ethical and religious consensus of the Croatian society, the author poses a fundamental question: is there a possibility for a compromise between the imposed and the expected, since there exists no possibility for a personal choice between two programs?
The author attempts to delineate a compromise, a pedagogic solution, proposing some program headlines, which could be applied to the current program of the sex education in the elementary and the high school. However, she stresses that the best solution would be a possibility of choice between two programs.
