Teenage pregnancy

The Kenyan domestic household survey shows that adolescent mothers constitute more than half (60%) of the adolescent girls in the country a big number of these girls drop out of school due to stigmatization. The Kenyan government and the ministry of education has a policy of re-admission of girls back to school after giving birth. But it remains a big challenge to mother child girl’s education due to stigmatization ridicule and abuses from other pupils. The readmission policy must be widely disseminated in schools and the community so that parents are aware of this.

Guardian negative attitudes towards educating children
Guardians mind about the education of their education of their own children rather than orphans under their care hence cutting down chances of orphans getting education , orphans start withdrawing orphans under their care hence cutting down chances of orphans getting education , orphans start withdrawing from education when hey feel unloved and hopeless when orphan girls lose hope they chooses the obvious by getting married involve themselves in prostitution leading to pregnancy and hence drop out of school before even they complete their studies
