What will a pregnant woman do to disturb the exam hall? Is the child in the woman's womb or on the exam paper?

We know who have been impregnating our children in secret, honorable ministers and President Mahama. Arrest all of them and imprison them to do hard labor and long sentences. Our leaders are criminals, NDC, NPP, CPP and all the likes because this nation has had its ruins from the public sector and the governments in particular since Dr Kwame Nkrumah’s era. Now they are borrowing so much money to pay their fourfold increases in pay rise back dating to 2009 which would incur further external debt for the tax payer to forfeit.

Useless, greedy and stupid African leaders who cannot rule themselves. Sell the country back to the white man; at least our young daughters could be saved. No brains in the black man’s heard, except when it comes to sex with young children when they have money and position. Go to the JHS, SS and university campus, who do you see picking up the young girls for sex? The hon ministers, ex presidents, Mr J Mahama himself and the rest of the rich upper class including the rich Chiefs, Asanti hene too sending his boys for his errands. The later maybe he has stop doing this now, but I don’t have the confirmation yet. Shame on you all.

They are preying on these poor vulnerable young girls with lots of promises and have left their poor old wife’s at home to suffer in pain. Almost all the rich and powerful men in the nation uses their time after office hours, funerals and chasing young children as the thrill of the day as if that’s the benefits of life. They don’t contribute to help any humane cause and certainly oblivious about their surroundings and what needs to be done to improve upon the general lifestyle. Even Satan is more caring and generous than our rich elite fools who would only give to take the panties off young women, sickening to be a black man.

IT IS NOT AN UNFORTUNATE PREGNANCY. THEY ARE CARRYING HUMAN BEINGS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. THEY ALREADY PREGNANT AND WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT IT. THEIR RIGHTS NEED TO BE PROTECTED WHETHER MARRIED OR NOT. WHO SAID YOU CANNOT GET PREGNANT IF YOU ARE NOT MARRIED. SHOW ME WHERE IN THE LAWS OF GHANA IT IS WRITTEN THAT YOU CAN NOT GET PREGNANT IF YOU ARE UNMARRIED. THIS IS NONSENSE AND MEN LIKE YOU ABUSE THESE GIRLS. I AM REALLY AMAZED AT YOUR COMMENT AND YOU NEED TO BE IN THE 21ST CENTURY. IT IS IDEAL TO BE MARRIED BEFORE HAVING KIDS BUT HEY THINGS DO HAPPEN AND THESE KIDS ARE HAVING SEX AT TIMES WITH ADULTS. THE END PRODUCT OF HAVING SEX IS GETTING PREGNANT AND HAVING KIDS.

Neither impregnating boys or pregnant girs should be walked out of school or exams room. Some of those people can learn their lessons after having the child and complete their education with better grades and educational achievements than others. When shall we start thinking.

I am happy issues of this sort are being raised on the floor of Parliament. I have always held the view that, it is discriminatory, backward, counter productive right-curtailing to deny a girl/woman education on the flimpsy grounds that she has picked seed. And it gets worse when that girl/woman is denied the chance to write their final exam for this same fimpsy excuse.

For how long will we continue to be this backward? I feel that if it is ok to sack a girl/woman from school or deny her the chance to take an examination, then the authorities concerned should fish out all those who have sex (both boys/men and girls/women) and sack them or prevent them from taking examinations, as the case may be.

We often forget that when such girls are sacked from school, their situation and that of their unborn child worsens. We perpetually deny them the chance to advance their lot in life. No wonder there are so many street children and increased crime rates

Holala, infinitely important that children who mistakenly got pregnant be encouraged to get to class to study and also take their final exams. My daughter in the USA got pregnant when she was taking her transfer to the four year college at the community college in the US. she was encourage by her professors and peers and a week to due date she finished her exams. she is now been given acceptance letter to a very prestigious university and she want to sturdy LAW to be a lawyer. I was not ashamed for her eventhough I wanted her to take her time to finish, I am really proud of her and I know she will do well by Gods Grace. GES should look at this example and encourage such a pregnant girl who is eager to finish up her education. Mr.Dzikum of Ministry of Education who travelled vastly to corners of the world should be contacted to educate the teachers/professor to exercise patient to our children if that should happen.

A pregnant woman boards a bus in Kejetia. After taking a seat, she notices a man smiling at her. She feels self-conscious and changes her seat, but he seems even more amused.

She moves a third time, and he starts to giggle. On her fourth move, he bursts out laughing.

They both get off the bus at the next stop. The pregnant woman is furious and demands an explanation. "What exactly is so damn funny?"
"I'm sorry, ma'am," replies the giggling man. "But I couldn't help noticing you're pregnant, and when you first sat down, you sat under an advertisement which read 'Coming Soon: The Gold Dust Twins.' Then you sat under an ad that read 'Sloan's Liniments Remove Swelling.' Then you moved under a deodorant advertisement which read 'William's Stick Did the Trick.' And I just couldn't hold it in any longer when you moved a fourth time and sat under a tire advertisement which read 'Dunlop Rubber Would Have Prevented This Accident.'"

If a fellow classmate impregnated the girl, why allow the boy to write the exam whilst the girl is excluded. They are both partners

Adolescent pregnancy is already associated with several problems, including school drop-out. We don't need for this problem to be magnified by some ill-advised zealots who, instead of ensuring there's no ongoing cheating during the exams, are going round examining the bellies of little girls.
I have a few questions and observations for these misguided pregnancy detectives to carry forth to their masters/mistresses:
1) Is there a warning during registration for the exams that pregnant girls will be disqualified from participation? If not, then you're exposing yourselves to legal action
2) How do you diagnose pregnancy: by a standard test, visual inspection, or touching the belly? There's a lot of subjectivity with the latter two approaches and girls with swollen abdomen from whatever medical condition may wrongly be swept up by this broad, inexact wave, again exposing yourself to charges of wrongful exclusion. But then also, you may miss out on girls whose pregnancies are not very advanced as these may not be very obvious or are more easily concealed; in which case you'll be discriminating against girls with advanced pregnancies.
I raise all these points to show that this policy is very ill thought-out at best, and exceedingly idiotic at worse.
Are there no Legal Advocates out there who will take up this case de bono?
