I once did a research titled the right to education to pregnant school girls in Tanzania' i think this is one of the most important area to be covered in your program. I could have given a lot in case it appears that i have chance in your program. It is because girls are mostly affected by administrative actions of expulsion and exclusion. The two actions have no legal justification.Adressing this iisue globally is wanting. Neither the constitution of Tanzania nor Education provide for curtailment of right to education by virtue of one becoming pregnant.
Expulsion and exclusion were all geared by morality, being pregnant a school girl commits a moral offence but legally no offence. Hence advocacy should be made on this point to protect social rights to these children and girls.
