    Significant news

    In the context of education, more than a third of learners have experienced violence. An online survey shows that 28% of young people are not out in an education setting (mainly students). Furthermore, the term gay is still being used as an insult on a regular basis.

    Opposition

    Both the Grundsatzerlass Sexualpädagogik and poster campaign by the LGBTQI teachers’ organisation Ausgesprochen, which aimed at increasing the visibility of LGBTQI issues in schools, faced major public opposition – particularly from conservative, right-wing / catholic organisations and parents’ associations.
