I have had this matter investigated by my Department. I am satisfied with the life skills programme in Glenties Comprehensive school, County Donegal. This programme has been offered under the aegis of the North-Western Health Board for the past 12-13 years. It has been well accepted and almost all the second level schools in Donegal, Sligo and Leitrim are using the programme.
Relationships and sexuality education, which has been incorporated in the programme over the past number of years, is a significant component of the life skills programme which is delivered over the whole period of second level education. Glenties Comprehensive school has been involved in all aspects of the development of the life skills programme.
