Question Body:
How many pregnant learners, per education district in the province, were reported to her Department in (a) 2018, (b) 2019 and (c) 2020 to date?
Answer Body:
(a) – (c) Please note the following:
- That schools report pregnancies for the previous year i.e. for the 2018 Annual School Survey, a school will report on pregnancies for the 2017 academic year;
- The data contains information for both Public Ordinary and Public Special Needs Education schools;
- For ease of reference we have aggregated the information by District; and
- We are only able to provide pregnancy information surveyed in 2018 and 2019, as the 2020 Annual School Survey (both sectors) has not been completed.
