Public Relations Officer in the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology yesterday stated that about 50% to 60% of girls that are currently pregnant are those who do not want to be in the school system.

According to Brima Michael Turay, the teenage girls have no business being pregnant if they were serious about staying in school to acquire quality education.

He revealed that the ministry has recorded a total of 3,017 pregnant school girls across the country over the past nine to ten months.
