Examining the Prevalence of Teenage Pregnancy Attributed to Male Teachers in Rural Primary Schools: A Case Study
Dr. Saltiel Kholo Collen Mataboge
Abstract: This study explores the prevalence of teenage pregnancy attributed to male teachers in rural primary schools using a qualitative approach. Motivated by an alarming report, the research examines the factors contributing to this issue and its implications for education and social justice. I conducted a literature review of recent scholarly sources including books and articles to validate this case study. The main question guiding this paper is: "What is the prevalence of teenage pregnancy attributed to male teachers in rural primary schools?" The method employed is qualitative with data interpretation embedded within the interpretive paradigm allowing for a nuanced understanding of the intricate challenges in these rural settings. Findings reveal a pattern of abuse by male teachers, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions, policy reforms and community engagement to safeguard vulnerable students. The study identifies key factors such as power imbalances, lack of oversight and cultural norms that perpetuate this issue. The significance of this study lies in its contribution to the existing body of knowledge by highlighting the urgent need for targeted interventions, policy reforms and community engagement to mitigate and prevent such cases in rural primary schools. This research offers new insights into protecting vulnerable students and ensuring a safe educational environment.
