I think this is all utter nonsense.
Sex education programmes in schools do not deal with the issue of teenage pregnancy by "encouraging kids to have oral sex". That simply isn't true, and peddling myths like that does a disservice to the thousands of teachers in the UK who are trying (usually with greater success than churches or mosques) to tackle a difficult issue in a humanitarian fashion.
Right-wing political and religious blow-hards may rant and rave about a "lack of morals" in the UK, or think that hard-line absetentionist religious syllabuses will stop teenage pregnancy. In fact there is no credible evidence, whatsoever, that this is the case. In fact, some evidence from the USA suggests that the reverse may be true.
As for introducing prohibition laws banning alcohol sales, I think you'll find that didn't stop teenage pregnancy in 1920s America, and it hasn't stopped it in contemporary Iran either.
