In Ghana, even though it is acknowledged that pregnancies occur among school girls, there are no standard procedures for handling pregnant school girls or dealing with young mothers who want to return to school after childbirth. The absence of a standardised system has resulted in school heads using their discretion to deal with the issue. In order to address this gap, the Ghana Education Service (GES) working through the Girls’ Education Unit (GEU) has developed these Guidelines to adopt measures that seek to prevent pregnancy among school girls and facilitate the re-entry of adolescent mothers to school after childbirth.
