Can a learner be refused admission or expelled because they are pregnant
A learner may not be refused admission to a school or expelled from a school because she is pregnant. The school principal and the school community should look at ways to support learners who are pregnant. The school is required to provide pregnant learners with health information.
The Constitutional Court rules in 2013 that expelling a pregnant learner is against the law and undermines the right to education.
