In 1994 health education ceased to be an obligatory subject in the school curricula. Preventive services such as school health services and contraceptive clinics were severely decreased. (...) In 2006 sexuality education as part of health education became again obligatory. Since then Finland has seen a very positive trend both in decreasing numbers of adolescent abortion and teenage delivery rates. 2 According to the experience in Finland, reliable and sufficient sexuality education does not promote promiscuity or encourage young people into early sexual encounters.
