Teenage Pregnancy and Education: An Analysis of Dropout Rates in Selected Public Schools in Kabwe District, Zambia

Author(s) Victor Mwila
Country Zambia
Abstract This study used a mixed-methods case descriptive design to investigate the impact of teenage pregnancy on dropout rates in public schools in Kabwe District, Zambia. The study aimed to determine the prevalence of teenage pregnancy and its effects on dropout patterns, identify socioeconomic and cultural factors contributing to educational attrition among pregnant teenagers, assess long-term consequences of teenage pregnancy on educational trajectories, and propose evidence-based recommendations. Data collection methods included interviews, questionnaires, and document analysis. Key findings were that guidance teachers and parents can significantly reduce teenage pregnancy, but more joint efforts are needed. Detrimental impacts on schooling included dropout, delayed completion, lack of concentration, and psychological consequences. It is crucial for all stakeholders to work collaboratively in supporting young women's education and empowerment. The study provides insights into these complex issues in Zambia and recommends comprehensive multi-sectoral approaches to address teenage pregnancy and promote sustainable education.
