Kenya is now far ahead. In our time they would expel them like Maguful. But now they are given maternity break and re-admitted back when they are ready. This from primary school to universities.That is ministry of education policy. I know many "parents" who left schools ages ago - now going back to school. That is what we need to encourage. Of course it we have to be cognizant of mixing adults & children esp at primary level.
This idiot in TZ just emerged from stone age with stone age ideas. You wonder if he has daughters or sisters.
I don't know what the situation is in Kenya these days, but unenlightened attitudes (such as Magufili's) seem to be the norm. Of course, the schoolboy or sugar daddy who had done the poking suffered no penalties and simply moved on to other "prey".
There was another curious thing I noticed at the time: students were permitted to take a break, of any length, if they had serious mental-health issues, but a break for maternal-health issues was a definite no-no. We don't need to make anything a crime; we simply have to allow for students to take a break for whatever reason they see fit.
I think the fundamental problem here has its roots in our "Christian" outlook and odd ideas of morality, e.g. if an unmarried woman becomes pregnant, it must be because she is an immoral woman, of easy virtue, ... , and a "decent" society "must not accept that; "we must punish them for their own good".
