Ten students from various counties in Western Kenya, are sitting for their Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examinations at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Eldoret after giving birth. This calls for need to arrange for candidates to be taught to abstain from sex to avoid pregnancies during exams.
Having to give birth and immediately sitting for exams is very inconvenient for the girls as this might affect their thinking capacity inorder to score good grades. The girls might be demotivated due to the pain after giving birth making them to perform poorly.
Teachers should provide female students especially the candidates with sex education highlighting on ways to abstain from sex at this early age. This is to educate those students who have least or no knowledge on how to abstain or sex in general. Parents too should be responsible and counsel their children on early pregnancies and how important it is for them to focus on their studies inorder to secure a bright future for themselves. The students are the future leaders as well as the light to the families with humble background.
