With all due respect to @nitabhalla, the article& #39;s title is misleading. Pregnant girls will not be able to attend school, they will only be able to attend alternative education centres (which they& #39;re already allowed to attend). No equivalence. https://news.trust.org/item/20200407165222-wc6mh/">https://news.trust.org/item/2020...

It& #39;s very important to clarify this, as it is confusing many. #Tanzania & #39;s Minister Ndalichako& #39;s carefully crafted statement does not say pregnant girls/adolescent moms will be back in formal schools. It refers to "the project". The project is #AEPs: https://www.hrw.org/news/2020/04/02/tanzania-world-bank-okays-discriminatory-education-loan">https://www.hrw.org/news/2020...

As for "the project", the #WorldBank factsheet published to defend its reasons for pushing ahead - very clear that both the WB and the government consider pregnant girls/teen moms "drop outs" - and drop outs go to... #AEPs https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/factsheet/2020/03/31/tanzania-secondary-education-quality-improvement-program-sequip">https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/f...

And then, there& #39;s other parts of government, which quickly clarified the government& #39;s stance... https://twitter.com/TZMsemajiMkuu/status/1245983075462496256?s=20

So,">https://twitter.com/TZMsemaji... no, pregnant girls and teen moms will not be back in & #39;school& #39;.
