The survey also revealed that 55 per cent of all 12 to 15 year-olds and 57 per cent of girls aged between 16 and 17 had not been taught how to use a condom. 43 per cent of all those who took part in the survey said they had not been taught about personal relationships at school.
A letter sent to The Times newspaper signed by the chief executives of the NSPCC, the Brook pregnancy advisory service, the Family Planning Association and the Terrence Higgins Trust said: "These figures may go some way to explaining the disproportionately high rates of teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections in this country."
