"The whole process put in place by the department is not to make the girl child feel like they are punished for falling pregnant while the boy continues with his studies."

She also shared that they used to ask parents of heavily pregnant learners to be around the school when they were writing.

"On incidents where a child would go into labour while writing, we would have to try and assist if the delivery was close, or send them to hospital if there was time. Luckily, there's a hospital close to the school."

Detailing the process they would follow if the learner had to write at the hospital, she added:

"If the learner had to go into labour while writing, a subject teacher or someone from the office would have to follow her to the hospital and arrange for her to complete her exam, and someone would sit and invigilate the whole process until she is done."
