Sex education 'doesn't cut teen pregnancy rate: Study
London: Lessons on sex education and handing out contraception freely to young people has little impact on cutting teenage pregnancy rates in the UK, a new study has claimed.
They say drops since 2009 mean the rate is now the lowest since the end of the 60s.
"Millions of pounds have been spent by policymakers on numerous initiatives aimed at cutting teenage pregnancy rates," Paton wrote in the journal Education and Health.
"However, identifying the impact of policy interventions presents something of a challenge," Paton said.
He said the conception rate among under 16s had changed little since 1969, fluctuating between about seven and 10 per 1,000 per year.

My niece is working in the healthcare field and she told me they have a lot of teen pregnancy cases because young girls don't know at what risks they are exposed. Even if the sex education programs are not so efficient that does not means we have to stop them, young girls need to know about this and I am sure a lot of them will know how to stay away from troubles.
