Topics concerned with key areas of personal life, like marriage, parenthood and personal relationships, occur in a wide range of subjects across the secondary school curriculum. What these topics are and, in particular, how teachers deal with them in the classroom has been studied in the course of a three‐year research project which has looked at school‐based education for parenthood. Over one hundred teachers representing ninety subjects in five schools identified aspects of their work as relevant to the theme of the research. On the basis of this, teachers were interviewed, usually more than once, in order to learn as much as possible about their perceptions of concepts like marriage, the family and parenthood, and their approach tho this area of their teaching.
