A 16-year-old Primary Seven candidate at Kyambura Primary School in Rubirizi District gave birth to a healthy baby before being taken to her examination centre to sit this year’s Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE).

Jowelia Naburye delivered at Kichwamba Health Centre III, where she was monitored by medical staff overnight before being transported to school in time for the examinations.

Naburye credited her 82-year-old grandmother for supporting her education and ensuring she returned to school despite her early pregnancy.
