President John Magufuli's pregnant schoolgirl ban angers Tanzanian women

[Sky Eclat]

President Magufuli warned schoolgirls at a rally on Monday that: "After getting pregnant, you are done."

A law passed in 2002 allows for the expulsion of pregnant schoolgirls.

The law says the girls can be expelled and excluded from school for "offences against morality" and "wedlock".

Women's rights groups have recently been urging the government to change the law.

President Magufuli, who was speaking at a public rally in Chalinze town, about 100km west of the main city Dar es Salaam, said that young mothers would be distracted if they were allowed back in school:

"After calculating some few mathematics, she'd be asking the teacher in the classroom: 'Let me go out and breastfeed my crying baby.'"

He said that men who impregnate the schoolgirls should be imprisoned for 30 years and "put the energy they used to impregnate the girl into farming while in jail".

Hapana, hakumaanisha wanafunzi kutokujua hisabati. Alimaanisha kusema "baada ya (yeye) kufanya mahesabu" (after crunching the numbers).

Atakuwa amejuaje kwamba wataomba ruhusa za kwenda kunyonyesha je wakisikiliza kipindi kizima? maan vipindi vingi vya hesabu ni asubuhi, kugeneralize mambo si kuzuri sana

Adhabu inapaswa iwe ya kufunza (reformative and not destructive). Kumfukuza mtoto shule siyo reformative kwasababu future yake ya kielimu imekatishiwa mbali. Kwanza huyo ni mtoto hivyo adhabu haipaswi kuwa kali kama vile tuna vinyongo na watoto. Of cause, watoto hawapaswi kujihusisha na mapenzi wakati wakiwa bado wanasoma, lakini si kwa adhabu hii, ifikiriwe adhabu nyingine itakayo wajenga watoto na kuwafanya waone bado wanathaminiwa na taifa lao.
