Sex Education

Description

Talking Point is a topical discussion series examining the latest news stories relevant to teachers and educationalists.

This programme looks at the crisis facing sex education in the UK.

Our teenage pregnancy rate is the worst in Europe and the incidence of sexually transmitted illnesses among young people is increasing. How should teachers respond to this crisis?

Sheena McDonald chairs a passionate debate between those with very different views on how young people should be taught about sex and relationships.

Guests include Gill Frances, the chair of the Independent Advisory Group of Teenage Pregnancy, and Dr Trevor Stammers, a GP and Chairman of the Christian Medical Fellowship Public Policy Committee.
