Petition Higher quality information regarding Sex Education to be taught in schools.

The information being provided to students in schools regaring to sex education/PSHE is insufficient.Teaching a student how to put on a condom and describing a few STD's a few times a year is simply not enough. Students should be advised on the costs of having a child among many other subjects.

More details

At Secondary school adequate information should be provided to students. lives are risked due to lack of knowledge and understanding of the broader-than-taught subject.
The current cirriculum should also include:
Costs of having children
information on why 16 is the age of consent
legal information regarding underage sex, amongst other things.

Children as young as 13 are wanting to be pregnant.They have no idea of the costs, risks and emotional stresses of parenthood at such a young age.
