SummaryWhy does the United States have almost four times the rate of teen pregnancies as France? Almost nine times the teen pregnancy rates of the Netherlands?
Other nations have sexual education implemented in an effective manner within their school systems. France has implemented a mandatory sexual education curriculum that is taught in both private and public schools. The greatest emphasis is placed on middle school sex and health education. Reproduction is taught in biology and there are mandatory requirements, two hours in middle school and 30 to 40 hours in high school
