According to the First Lady of Ekiti State, Mrs Bisi Fayemi, the practice of expelling pregnant schoolgirls while allowing boys that impregnated them to continue their education is a discriminatory act and should be frowned at.
Her Excellency described the measure as “discriminatory, ” adding that all girls had the right to education, regardless of their pregnancy, marital or motherhood status.
She also stated that pregnant girls face all kinds of punishments, including discriminating practices that deny them their right to education.
