Education roleplayers have had a mixed reaction to a suggestion that pregnant schoolgirls be given maternity leave.</DIV>
<BR /><DIV>
The appeal was made by a delegate at a recent summit on teenage pregnancy, held in Pietermaritzburg.</DIV>
<BR /><DIV>
The question of maternity leave was raised following a survey of 120 KwaZulu-Natal schools that found 887 schoolgirls had fallen pregnant this year. Last year the figure was 727 and in 2004, 632.</DIV>
<BR /><DIV>
In 2004, 43 girls reported falling pregnant because of sexual abuse. This year the figure rose to 60.</DIV>
<BR /><DIV>
The survey found that the age at which most schoolgirls fell pregnant was 16, but noted pregnancies in girls as young as 11.</DIV></P></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/6DA3859D-FDB4-431C-BDF2-1E0E35FC419B/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
