FAWE Zambia’s campaign for an enabling readmission policy for adolescent mothers

This booklet traces the evolution of the re-entry policy in Zambia and emphasizes the seriousness of having in place clear guidelines and a tracking and monitoring system for its implementation. While many countries now recognize the importance of giving adolescent mothers a second chance to continue with their education and pave a future for themselves, only a handful have re-entry policies in place. And among those who have, many have failed to systematically monitor the impact of the policy. The FAWE Zambia chapter (FAWEZA) has successfully worked with the Ministry of Education to develop clear implementation guidelines, disseminate them and assess their effectiveness in improving girls’ education.
