Okay. The content is delivered but how it is delivered is key. If one takes an issue like contraception, if it is delivered in a way that says this is not the right thing to do, it is going to make a crucial difference.

In terms of what we are trying to develop, namely, a comprehensive, consistent approach to RSE, this is a major stumbling block.
