^Yup, seriously.
There are boroughs where the teenage pregnancy rate is pretty high, so they take the view that if kids are going to do it regardless, then they should have an understanding of protection.
For us it was almost pointless, because it was Tower Hamlets* - in that entire school I was the sole Pakistani, there was one gora, and the rest were all Bengalis. The only protection we needed to know about was the rolling pin and the beating it would dish out if we ever touched/or was touched by anyone.

*Borough in London, home to mostly Bengali immigrants and Brick Lane.

My SIL went to school in Tower Hamlets and her mum is a health visitor to those Bengali majority schools.. She said the rates of teenage sex there are really high and she was often dealing with young Bengali girls wanting abortions..
