By FAITH NYAMAI More by this AuthorThe Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet) has asked the state to plan for the establishment of special schools for teenage mothers. Secretary-general Akelo Misori said the ministry should also put up rescue centres for teenage mothers. “The special schools should be mainstreamed to cater for young mothers who experience challenges whenever they resume studies in regular schools,” he said. Mr Misori said over the years the society has discriminated against teenage mothers who often face stigma by their fellow students. He said establishing such schools for the teenage mothers should not be misinterpreted to mean they are being separated from other students but to encourage them to continue being in school.
