The article concerns the policy of the Education Department of Namibia that requires teenage mother to take a year off school to care for their babies.
Trainer’s Notes: The article refers to a number of sources, including the mother of a teenage mother, government sources and human rights activists. It also deals with HIV/AIDS and the impact on young women. The article advocates for gender rights and the protection of young women from discriminatory policies and laws.
Training exercises: Trainees should interview a teenage mother to investigate the impact on missing out on a year of school for her. Trainees could also investigate the reasons for the high rate of teenage pregnancy in Namibia
