(Several of my classmates in high school dropped out because of "expanding waistline syndrome." My sister was the first one at that school to graduate with the condition. She refused demands to withdraw and the establishment backed down. From that date forward more women got their high school diplomas.I agree with you, however the information on sex and the risks is available these days, in fact you can find everything you want to know about sex and even things you don't want know by doing a quick google search.
Which is fine as far as it goes, but a lot of the young people most at risk for unplanned pregnancies may not have access to the internet. And even those that do may not be particularly interested in finding out those things on their own.
All in all, it seems the best way to present the information is in a classroom setting.
