Pupils as young as 11 will be taught about homosexuality and civil partnerships in compulsory sex education classes.
All secondary schools - including faith schools - will have to teach children about same-sex relationships as well as traditional families.
Previously, heads could decide to opt out of teaching the controversial subject.
Personal, social and health education classes are due to become part of the compulsory national curriculum in primary and secondary schools from September 2011.
Family and faith groups yesterday condemned the proposals.
From the first year in primary school, four and five-year-old children will learn about different body parts, with lessons about sex from the age of nine.
At Key Stage Three (ages 11 to 14), pupils will learn about contraception, pregnancy, sexual activity and sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV.
Schools will also have to teach about ' different types of relationships, including those within families and between older and young people, boys and girls and people of the same sex, including civil partnerships'.
At Key Stage Four (ages 14-16), they will continue to learn about contraception, sexually transmitted diseases and same-sex relationships.

Sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV gay’s gift to the world.
Parents were told they had no rights by a judge regarding the curiculum at the school... no kidding... 4 years ago.
They also put condoms on cucumbers in kindergarten.

A country is a terrible thing to waste...
As a homeschooler, my kids learn from me the bible says homosexuality is wrong.......
That’s it. They have picked up some out and about, but they know it’s wrong. period.
Are you serious? That is almost child molestation. Pushing the line there. Why do parents allow it?
Isn't that against the law in the UK?
AFAIK homeschooling is not illegal in UK.
In Europe, only Germany has the anti-homeschooling law made by Hitler. AFAIK.
