The challenges and difficulties of being pregnant and a young
parent in South African schools are brought to light in this
valuable examination. Drawing on both quantitative and qualitative
research conducted in secondary schools in Durban and Cape Town,
the book explores how teachers and principals respond to the
presence of pregnant learners and young parents and surveys the
attitudes of fellow learners towards them. Interviews with the
young parents themselves yield rich narratives which, accompanied
by a visual essay, delve into their lives as they confront the
overwhelming demands of pregnancy, parenting, and education.
Providing a finely textured analysis of these demands, this
reference demonstrates the ongoing need to challenge the unequal
and gendered load of pregnancy and parenting--both in schools and
the broader social context.
