Sexual harassments and conflicts among students are problems both within and outside schools. This became clear in conjunction with the #metoo -call that started 2017 when the whole world became engaged in this question. Although schools do work with these questions, a report made by Skolverket (2017) states that there is a lot to improve. Lack of teachers know how and lack of continuously contributions are two of the things that have to be improved to gain long time skills for the students.Two of our aims in the Swedish school curriculum are to provide good learning opportunities and to ensure that no one should be discriminated due to their sex, ethnicity or religion. The ordinary teachers sometimes find it hard to reach their students and achieve necessary changes to avoid these kinds of discriminations. Therefor some schools use external educators as a complement. In this study I present the results from interviews with four external educators in sexuality education in school. One of my questions is what they focus on during their sessions with teachers and students to get a picture of how the content connects to the curriculum. Another question is what experiences the external educators have from working with schools to increase the competence of teachers. Many reports make the conclusion that the work with students, to provide a better social climate in school, needs to be done by many actors during time. This study is no exception. The external educators that I have interviewed often only met the teachers one time so they could not say anything about what long term impact they have made. First of all, it became very clear in this study, that the principals are one of the most important persons in the work to reach the goals in the curriculum. Secondly, despite the content in curriculum and reports of what has to be done in schools and the ambitions of teachers there are still differences in this part of the education for students and the use of the competence of external educators are used rather randomly.
