Young people want quality sex education

WELL done for highlighting the need for sex education in Ireland (Irish Examiner, June 23).

In a recent Crisis Pregnancy Agency study, men of all ages spoke of the lack of clear and open sex education to prepare them for adulthood. Previous studies have shown that 92% of adults in Ireland support sex education in schools.

The Sexual Health Centre provided sex education to 4,749 young people aged 12-to-18 in 31 schools last academic year. We work in partnership with teachers and parents.
