The results are as follows
 １）There were few references to academic background of Home Economics Education in the syllabuses.
 ２）Of the 33 textbooks on Home Economics‚ there was no mention of background science in the 10 books of pedagogy for teachers‚ and 60% of the books used as textbooks for university teaching courses did not mention them. Of the ９ books that describe academic background‚ 6 refer to Home Economics as the academic background. The other two books also dealt with science including Home Economics‚ but only one book said there should be a unique academic system other than Home Economics.

 This paper questions the position and content of “parental education”‚ which is based on the premise that the abused child/person is in the classroom and encompasses comprehensive sexuality education to help them become families and parents who can heal from their trauma. 　
 Comprehensive sexuality education includes a broad view of sexuality and recognition that it is a human rights issue. “Parental education” should include the prevention of unwanted pregnancies‚ support for parents who choose to give birth‚ and the requisite knowledge‚ skills‚ and attitudes to become parents. 　
 “Parental Education” should be found in the school education phase‚ in the restructuring of the childcare and nutrition areas etc. of Home Economics education and the physical and mental health areas of the health education in light of CSE‚ and in the creation of learning and systems that can support sexual abuse survivors.
