This paper aims to analyze the contemporary debate on sexuality education, taking as reference free government textbooks and the curriculum of Normal education. From a qualitative perspective and through a synthetic, analytical process, books, articles, conference papers, and primary sources were examined. Results show that textbooks, as an instrument of educational policy, have been subject to rejection by various political and social actors. The curriculum for Normal education has considered sexuality education intermittently, with perspectives ranging from merely biological to more comprehensive approaches. It is concluded that sexuality education is a right of girls, boys, and teenagers. A possible route for addressing this is to strengthen the capacities of teacher trainers in the field of sexuality education so that future teachers who graduate from Normal schools have the tools to support their students.

Keywords : Sexuality education; Normal Education; Textbooks.
