In Wales, we\u2019re still in a form of Covid-19 lockdown but, gradually, people are starting to consider a return to normal life: work, socialising, going to school\u2026But what about the one in five girls whose periods mean that going to school isn\u2019t easy, Covid-19 or not? Or the half of all girls who say that their concentration in class is negatively impacted by heavy bleeding or pain?(1) \"\"<\/p>\n

Whilst we\u2019ve all been rightly concerned about the impact lockdown is having on our children\u2019s education, we need to extend that same level of concern to the thousands of girls across Wales whose education and long-term prospects are being impacted daily \u2013 by their periods.<\/p>\n

Covid-19 is an unexpected and (currently) incurable virus, but the same cannot be said for menstrual health issues. For the most part, periods are a largely inevitable process in young women\u2019s lives, and associated health issues CAN be remedied, if<\/em><\/strong> youngsters know that what they\u2019re experiencing isn\u2019t normal and to seek help.<\/p>\n

And therein lies the problem \u2013 it\u2019s a big \u2018IF\u2019 \u2013 an \u2018if\u2019 that Welsh Government has the power to resolve, IF they make menstrual well-being education compulsory on the new school curriculum for Wales from 2022.<\/p>\n

Lest we forget, 52% of the population in Wales is female and about one third of those will be having periods. However, it\u2019s still not mandatory to be taught about what to expect from them \u2013 and, by that, we mean more than the impersonal, \u2018every 28 days, the ovary will release an egg\u2019 or, \u2018the uterus expels its lining every month in the form of a period’.<\/p>\n

We did a cursory survey of our membership and they desperately wish they\u2019d been taught that severe period pain isn\u2019t normal, that it isn\u2019t OK to pass out or throw up every month, that their ovaries do more than make eggs, that period blood isn\u2019t the same as when you cut your finger, that the predicted \u2018eggcup\u2019 can be more like a tsunami, that associated mood-swings can sometimes be unbearable, and that, actually, sometimes, things can\u2019t simply be dismissed as \u2018normal\u2019 or a \u2018woman\u2019s lot\u2019 and need medical attention.<\/p>\n

In England, menstrual education will be mandatory from September this year; in Wales, the Education Department insists that it\u2019s more important to allow teachers, schools, local authorities flexibility so they can choose what to teach \/ what not to teach. We\u2019d agree \u2013 professional educators\u2019 subject-specific knowledge should absolutely<\/em> be respected, and they should absolutely<\/em> be allowed a certain degree of autonomy over what to include and how to deliver those subjects to which they\u2019ve devoted their academic career.<\/p>\n

The same can\u2019t necessarily be said of Health and Wellbeing, an \u2018Area of Learning and Experience\u2019 which, from 2022, will be a core component of the school curriculum in Wales. It seems unlikely that any existing teacher will be qualified to cover the multiplicity of topics therein at the same level as they do their academic specialism. To expect them to do would seem to be a recipe for disaster or, at the very least, a recipe for variation, inequality, even harm.<\/p>\n

Sure, it may well be possible to talk about sanitation \u2013 and, possibly, by extension, periods – in a geography lesson but, \u2018possibly\u2019 is the key word here. Will such a forum allow for in-depth, fact-based teaching on what constitutes a heavy period, or the symptoms of endometriosis, a condition affecting one in ten, or peri-menopause, the potential 10-year-run-up to full menopause? And would every teacher be prepared to cover these topics in such detail?<\/p>\n

Can we really expect all maths teachers to use variation in menstrual cycles to teach mean, median, and mode?\"\"<\/p>\n

Will this \u2018flexible\u2019 approach ensure that every pupil across Wales receives the same level of teaching on something that is going to affect almost every one of them directly or indirectly, some of them to the degree that they can no longer even make it to their maths lessons in the first place? We have our doubts\u2026<\/p>\n

FTWW is arguing for Health & Well-being to have justice done to it by having dedicated teaching time within the school timetable, delivered by specialists \/ those with lived experience, using evidence-based resources, and that those sessions be a core part of the curriculum for every school in Wales.\"\"<\/p>\n

Why? Quite simply so that we don\u2019t just continue to avoid the issue. Unless menstrual education is compulsory, chances are that embarrassment \u2013 on the part of both teachers and students alike \u2013 will continue to act as a barrier to discussion. By not forcing the issue, the very real risk is that we perpetuate age-old cultural taboos which stop pupils asking questions, learning about what\u2019s normal – and what may warrant clinical investigation.<\/p>\n

We need our parliamentarians to take all necessary measures to ensure that girls aren\u2019t missing out on their education simply because periods aren\u2019t seen as an issue worthy of full, frank, accurate, and mandated<\/em>, discussion. To fail to do this is, quite simply, an equality and human rights issue, as Article 10 of the United Nations Convention Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) makes clear.<\/p>\n

The UN expectation is that all parties \u2013 and that includes Welsh Government – should take all appropriate measures to reduce female student drop-out rates, such as access to specific educational information to help to ensure health and well-being, particularly as it pertains to issues associated with family planning (aka menstruation). (2)<\/p>\n

Finally, we need also to remember that our future medical professionals are in those classrooms (assuming they\u2019re not affected so badly by their periods that they can\u2019t attend). By NOT teaching periods, we\u2019re teaching them that periods don\u2019t matter, and that has HUGE implications for the well-being of our future generations.<\/p>\n
