Following a vote in the cantonal parliament – which was fought against by the right-wing Swiss people’s Party – teachers will be instructed to bring in other aspects, such as sexual preferences and techniques as well as relationship advice.

But those from the Swiss People’s Party say it’s up to parents to make sure their children are informed and young people can be overwhelmed with the details.
