Press Release 5 April 2007
The results of the Youth Sexual Health report that was made public yesterday shows that years of tax-payer funded sex education classes organised by the Family Planning Association (FPA) and other like-minded groups have utterly failed to achieve any significant reduction in the high rates of teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. The Society is not surprised that New Zealand now has the second highest rate of teenage pregnancy among OECD countries, second only to the United States.
