What do you expect from sexual education?

Hey guys! I just wanted to know if people think they had a decent sex education at school and how they think it could improve?
I go to a Catholic school and sex ed at my school is really unsatisfactory and taboo.
We "learnt" about sex in year 8, but we didn't learn about any forms of contraception or about STDs. Only that "Catholics are only allowed to have sex when they want to have a child after they're married".
I didn't even know what a condom looked like until this year... and I'm 16 and admittedly have lived a very "sheltered" life and my boyfriend tells me I have an "innocent mind".
I never had "the talk" with my mum because we're both too awkward so I had to learn about safe sex and STDs from my boyfriend. Luckily though, he was allowed to lean about it and we go to the same school!
