When we think about sex education in our schools, we are generally concerned about teaching teens how to avoid getting pregnant. Whether you're a believer in abstinence or someone who thinks that teens should learn all about contraception, you almost certainly think that kids should be learning how not to get pregnant. However, there are some people in the UK who are pushing for sex education to also include information about how to get pregnant.
The people who are pushing for this certainly don't believe that teen pregnancy is a good thing. Instead, they are aware of the fact that infertility is a growing problem around the world. What they are asking for is that teens be education about infertility, its causes and the issues surrounding the subject. They aren't actually advocating that kids avoid infertility by getting pregnant in their teens, of course. They're simply saying that it's really important for young people to gain a better understanding of infertility.
