August 2007: What young people think of their sex education

Marie Stopes International were asked to comment on recent surveys which asked young people what they thought of their sex education at school. The results of the surveys showed that young people rated their sex education as quite poor, and as a result of this were forced to seek not always accurate information from elsewhere, including the internet and from friends.

In response to this Marie Stopes International are currently conducting our own survey of young peoples views of sex education through our youth website www.likeitis.org, the results of this will be published here shortly. In the meantime, click here to listen to our radio interviews.
