    There are reportedly currently fifteen (15) pregnant female students at St. Mary’s Girls Senior High School in Konongo, Ashanti Region.

    Four (4) of the pregnant students are in their final year, ten (10) are in their second year, and one (1) is a first-year student, according to United Television (UTV) news.

    According to reports, the school’s headmistress, Alice Martha Adjei, confirmed the development and bemoaned how it had put her organization in a difficult situation because she was unable to expel the pregnant students.

    The rise in teenage pregnancies among female students at the school, which distorts their education, has reportedly alarmed school administrators.

    They fear that if action is not taken to address the problem of teenage pregnancies in the school, teenage girls’ futures will be in jeopardy. After giving birth, the majority of students are unable to return to school, and even those who are able to do so divide their time between studying and taking care of the newborn.

    To avoid grown men taking advantage of female students, getting them pregnant, and ruining their futures, Alice Martha Adjei issued a warning.

    In addition, the Ashanti Region led the way in 2022, followed by the Eastern Region, with about 21 teenage abortions.

    Data released by the Ghana Health Service (GHS) revealed the alarming development.

    The data show that there were 7,618 documented abortions among teenage girls in 2022, or about 21 abortions every day of the year.

    The GHS reported that the figure for last year was down 10% from the 8,465 figure for 2021.

    A total of 24,108 teenage girl abortions were reported between the years 2020, 2021, and 2022. The average over the three years was 8,036 teenage abortions, or 22 abortions per day and roughly one abortion per hour.

    With a total of 1,275, the Ashanti Region, which seems to have gained notoriety for recording high abortion cases, again had the highest rate of teenage abortions in 2022.

    In the years 2020 and 2021, the area saw 1,407 and 1,531 teenage abortions, respectively.

    The Ahafo Region had the fewest teenage abortions in 2022, with a total of just 171 abortions, the data reveals. It is followed by the Eastern Region, which recorded 1,106 abortion cases.
