A Kwale school where pupils are allowed to carry their babies to school

In 1994, the education system adopted the National School Re-Entry Policy. This was followed by the National School Health Policy (2009), the National Adolescent Sexual Reproductive Health Policy (2015) and more recently, the development of draft National Guidelines on School Re-Entry. Mwejuma and her classmates hope for a better future, devoid of the struggles they had when they got their babies. They believe their class with produce teachers, doctors and engineers who will be known all over the country. Their teacher says that even though the babies are a distraction, and he has often had to stop lessons when one of the babies gets fussy and uncontrollable, he focuses on the end goal. “I want them to know that someone believes in them and they have a chance to start over,” he says.
