FAWE urges prevention of child pregnancy

Effective mechanisms are needed to prevent child pregnancies that threaten the Girl Child education in the country, the chairperson of the Forum for African Women Educationalists (Fawe), Rhona Nyakurama, has said. “Teachers, parents as well as the general public must take personal responsibility in preventing students from getting pregnant as this is increasing school dropout rate,” Nyakurama, who was speaking to this paper after the ninth general assembly of the organisation at the weekend, said.
