The quest for higher education and the desire to have better lives have motivated four nursing mothers to return to school after delivery.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”r6x0xIR7eXvFPubsUwdsk0V6molyt73B”]The young mothers, who are all Junior High Secondary Form 2 students in a Methodist School in the Sekondi\/Takoradi Metropolis, are reportedly coping well, as confirmed to the GNA by Mr. Maxwell Ghamson, the\u00a0Head of Guidance and Counseling in the school.<\/p>\n
Ms. Esther Armah, the School\u2019s Girl-Child Coordinator said the girls were reporting to school on regular basis with their performances being average.<\/p>\n
They are also sober and respectful, the GNA had learnt on a visit to the school.<\/p>\n
One of the girls said she had been leaving her nine-month old baby in the care of her mother every morning to be in school.<\/p>\n
She said it was her aspiration to become a journalist.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Mrs. Henrietta Quabu, Metropolitan Girl Child Coordinator, has attributed teenage pregnancy to the lack of responsible parenting, particularly, in caring for the girl-child.<\/p>\n
She said girls\u2019 education was now a priority on the agenda of state actors and she was happy that the girls had braced the odds and returned to school.<\/p>\n
Mrs. Quaba called for special assistance and scholarships for needy girls to enable them to climb higher on the academic level.<\/p>\n
