Teenage pregnancy is prohibited in Tanzanian schools

Tanzanian President John Magufili has banned teenage pregnant girls from returning to schools. He disclosed this while addressing residents of Chalinze Bagamoyo District in Dar es salam on Thursday. He added that young mothers are always distracted in class and further allowance of such, would encourage other girls to engage in sex.

 BBC quoted the president saying "only girls at the university level are allowed to get pregnant without penalties attatched"
