Pregnancy not an end to girls’ education
Schools must provide an environment that prevents inequality and unfairness towards pregnant learners, who have the right to education during pregnancy.
“No educator, school staff member or fellow learner may discriminate against, humiliate or abuse a learner physically, emotionally or psychologically, based on their pregnancy or post-pregnancy status,” says Department of Basic Education (DBE) Care and Support Chief Director Coceka Nogoduka.
