RFP for resources to support new Relationships and Sexuality Education guidelines


Thu 19 Nov 2020

The Ministry of Education has put out a Request for Proposals (RFP) for resources to support the implementation of the revised Relationships and Sexuality Education guidelines released in September 2020.

The Ministry is seeking development of resources to support the implementation of Relationships and Sexuality Education: A guide for teachers, leaders and boards of trustees (2020) in ways that are effective, safe and inclusive.

The Relationships and Sexuality Education Resources (MOE09966) RFP is on the Government Electronic Tenders Service (GETS) website.

The deadline to apply is 4 December 2020.

The GETS website states:

"The resources encompass two separate areas; informative educator resources, and best practice showcases. These resources will go to teachers, leaders and boards of trustees to support them with their teaching and learning.

The overall aim of the resources is to help schools engage in a coherent and interconnected approach to strengthen their programmes in relationships and sexuality education, in accordance with the updated 2020 guides, and to deliver and sustain quality programmes covering Relationships and Sexuality Education (RSE) to their ākonga.

The resources are intended for all state and state-integrated English-Medium schools in Aotearoa New Zealand."

Sexuality Education: A guide for principals, boards of trustees, and teachers (2020) updates the previous version released in 2015.
