Le droit au retour: politique et pratique de réintégration scolaire des adolescentes enceintes et mères en Afrique orientale et australe
O direito de retornar: política e prática de reintegração escolar para meninas adolescentes grávidas e mães na África Oriental e Austral
Organizations
Across Eastern and Southern Africa, many pregnant and parenting adolescents remain excluded from school despite growing commitments to their right to education. The Right to Return summarises findings from a 2025 regional review across 21 countries on the status and implementation of school re-entry policies. The brief highlights gaps between policy and practice, examines barriers such as stigma, resourcing and limited guidance, and identifies actions to strengthen education systems so that adolescent mothers can return to, remain in, and complete their education.
