Actions to prevent pregnant girls from school dropout
WEBINAR
Time: 19 Januari 2023, 14.00 – 15.30 (CET).
Place: Zoom Webinar
A recent study conducted in South-Western Uganda, identifies five main barriers preventing school-age mothers to re-enter school after pregnancy; negative self-perception, childcare burdens, community and family tensions, tense school environment, and ineffective policies.
In this webinar, we discuss actions to prevent pregnant girls from dropping out of school and present research-based policy recommendations on what policy makers at all levels and in all sectors should do to tackle the barriers to school re-entry.
