That clearly needs to be updated. That is nearly 20 years ago. A lot has changed in this country in 20 years. Not much has changed in terms of the realities of sex and all of that, but the fact is that we need to revisit that. Perhaps it is something that needs to be gone through because primary school is the only show in town when it comes to sex education as far as I am concerned. In respect of the time when students get to secondary school, things have changed a lot since I was that age, not that I am ancient. That is just a statement.
