The challenges and difficulties of being pregnant and a young parent in South African schools are brought to light in this valuable examination. Drawing on both quantitative and qualitative research conducted in secondary schools in Durban and Cape Town, the book explores how teachers and principals respond to the presence of pregnant learners and young parents and surveys the attitudes of fellow learners towards them.
