Escuela para Padres: Familia, Escuela y Comunidad.

Abstract

Basic education today faces the challenge of moving beyond the classroom and actively engaging with family and community contexts. In a world characterised by rapid change, particularly in the field of human sexuality, the holistic education of pupils requires a strategic partnership between schools, families and the community. Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE), understood as a holistic process encompassing biological, psychological, social, ethical and cultural aspects, is established as a fundamental pillar for promoting the healthy development of children and adolescents, respect for human rights, risk prevention and the responsible exercise of sexuality. By addressing the challenges currently faced by comprehensive sex education, this study aims to provide a comprehensive and systematic overview of the difficulties encountered by families, schools and the community in supporting the sexual and emotional development of children, particularly during adolescence. Furthermore, it analyses possible innovative and feasible measures that could be implemented in the short and medium term to strengthen the partnership between schools and families. The main objective of this research is to systematise the experience of the Parents’ School held in February 2026 at the Colegio Fiscal San Mateo, which focused on human and holistic sexuality, with the aim of analysing its impact on strengthening parenting skills and proposing replicable processes that improve communication and family support on issues of sexuality. Based on this analysis, the study seeks to: to contribute to the curricular integration of the pre-professional placement for the Basic Education degree programme within the Family-Community Contexts Project, highlighting the role of the family-school-community triad in the holistic education of pupils.
