        Tanzania is governed by the rule of law;what he said isn't a law but a strong statement to discourage such practices among teens @shegsmith5

        Teen pregnancy is a multilayered problem. We faced it, too in America. Solving it doesn't mean stigmatizing young girls/denying them school

        Teen pregnancy is a very big problem in America as well as in South Africa due to poor parenting. We dont want to get there.

        Our own concern is how denying them post-conception education will curb this problem.

        It's shouldn't be encouraged at all, unless it can be proven to be a #rape issue or so.. after all #discipline is key to good living.

        The issue isn't about perfection, let's agree to teach the #African teenagers abstinence and responsibility rather than make excuses 4 them

        The lessons have been there all this time ..some listen some don't, but to penalise a girl for that is not the solution.

        Do you know that by choosing to be mothers at their teenage yrs, they are also burdening the state n therefore shifting state resources..

        And isn't the whole point of still going to school is to give themselves a chance ? Are you not looking at this from one perceptive??

        It is presumed that, that #school be able to inculcate into them abstinence/ use of contraception otherwise, I agree with the President.

        This will raise cases of abortion. Again, what about rape incidences?

        But now surely this is sexist! It's take TWO to tango Mr Pres! If you are going to impose such a (nonsensical) ban then ban the boys too!
