547 Pregnancy Cases Recorded in Secondary Schools in Benin.
The Beninese news agency, ABP has gathered that more than 500 pregnancies were recorded in secondary schools of Benin’s northeastern department of Borgou during the 2019-2020 school year.
ABP quoted Thomas Adam, a Representative of the child protection department of Secondary education and professional and technical training ministry that more cases were recorded this year against 2018-2019.
“Altogether, 547 out of 36,487 school girls regularly registered were pregnant during the 2019-2020 school year as against 431 cases in 2018-2019,” Adam said.
Adam affirms that the increase in the cases of pregnancies to the long cessation of classes observed during the coronavirus pandemic.
However, no strategy linked to the phenomenon was yet made public, several analysts of the Beninese society fear that the crisis linked to the COVID-19 affected the measures taken to eliminate early pregnancies in schools.
