Starfruit-Induced Neurotoxicity Masked by Multiple Medical Confounders in a Hemodialysis Patient.

Education aims to equip individuals for effective societal participation, representing one of the most critical tools for both individual and collective development. Its role is to transform and improve personal circumstances while actively shaping social interactions (). Over time, education and health have evolved in tandem, converging into the concept of health education, which is defined as a series of planned and systematic educational interventions designed to enhance population health literacy (). This encompasses not only increasing knowledge regarding health determinants and healthy practices but also fostering personal skills and competencies that support the adoption of health-enhancing behaviors (). Within this framework, health education serves as a key instrument for promoting wellbeing across healthcare, social, and educational domains. Sex education constitutes a vital component of this synergy, addressing the physical, emotional, and social dimensions of sexuality throughout the lifespan (; ). The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) as an essential educational need based on a holistic perspective of childhood and adolescence (). Consequently, it must be integrated transversally and systematically into curricula through interdisciplinary actions (). Furthermore, it is a right endorsed by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), which advocates for initiating this instruction at an early stage, adapting it progressively and coherently to students’ developmental phases (). This is particularly critical in contexts where students often do not transition from primary to secondary education, highlighting the necessity of providing essential information during the earliest stages of schooling (). Scientific evidence demonstrates that inclusive and transversal sex education programs yield benefits that extend far beyond risk prevention. These include promoting respect for diversity, reducing bullying and homophobic attitudes, fostering a deeper understanding of gender norms, and enhancing the valuation of equity and social justice, thereby positively impacting the school climate and socio-emotional development (). Furthermore, CSE directly contributes to the sustainable development goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda, most notably SDG 3 (Good Health and Wellbeing), SDG 4 (Quality Education), and SDG 5 (Gender Equality) ().
