The inspiration you get when you visit Pader Girls Academy speaks volumes towards the retention of pregnant girls in school and why they must be allowed to study with their babies. Christine Semambo shares more on a poerful model in Northern Uganda that has seen girls retained in school after child birth and why we should emulate the action. As the Executive Director of Forum for African women Educationalists Uganda, Christine Semambo Sempebwa is at the forefront of uplifting the status and welfare of the marginalised, disadvantaged and vulnerable girls and women in Uganda. In her talk, Christine ponders on the question of policy on retention of the girl child in school This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
