    Integrity of statistics is another major problem and a challenge to affective planning and policy-making.

    When I was last in Ghana, I investigated the impact of the SSS Education on our Youth and was so exasperated by my findings, and therefore believed this News Story of 750,000 pregnant teenagers:

  • Nawu 12 years ago

    I think this is good.
    We need more babies in Ghana so pregnancy is good!

    Babies all over the place, because fathers have nothing to do but ejaculate! an Amina Yutong euphoria.

    Parents and churches have to do more about this. Our youth have no ambition so they resort to easy but dangerous way of life

    most Ghanaian males look pregnant too from their potbellies,

  • mawriz 12 years ago

    This shows how fertile Ghanaian men are! The world all over should take note as we may start impregnating internationally. We call it outsourcing.

    This cannot be true. With a population if 24 million, there cannot be more than 2.4 million teenagers. I cant see how one out of every 3 is pregnant.

  • Akadu Mensema 12 years ago

    How did they come to that conclusion?

  • Zipper 12 years ago

    The conclusion, within that 12 months period, one teenager may have been pregnant at least 3 times with abortions being the easy route for them.

  • Shamu 12 years ago

  • nana serwaa 12 years ago

    By what statistics did they arrive at that figure? were all these pregnancies reported at the health facilities, how many of them were aborted and how many have delivered? Let us be serious as a nation and be authentic.

  • CARDINAL 12 years ago

    Nana, it's not true. Read my post above. Somebody is trying to extort money from the sympathetic NGO's and they came out with this ridiculous number of teenage pregnancies.

    Promotion of condom use will not work. Educate the youth that sex outside marriage is a crime, that will work.
