In a recent meeting held on March 1, 2025, the Community Teachers Association (C.T.A.) Executive of University Secondary School Najala Kori Chiefdom Moyamba District expressed strong opposition to the administration’s decision to expel all pregnant students from the institution.

The chairman of the C.T.A. emphasized the need for inclusivity and support for pregnant students, highlighting that the administration’s approach could hinder their educational opportunities. The discussion escalated as the executive demanded the reversal of the decision, arguing that the school should be a safe haven for all students, regardless of their circumstances.

During the meeting, C.T.A. representatives voiced concerns about the implications of the expulsion on the students’ futures, stressing the importance of compassion and understanding. They called on the school administration to reconsider their stance and provide necessary support to pregnant students instead.

In response, the school administration, led by Principal Jonathan, defended their decision by citing concerns about the learning environment. However, the C.T.A. remains firm in advocating for the rights of pregnant students, urging the administration to adopt a more supportive approach.

The situation has sparked a broader conversation about the treatment of pregnant students in educational institutions, with community members rallying behind the C.T.A.’s efforts to promote inclusivity and support within the school system.

As the debate continues, many are hopeful for a resolution that prioritizes the education and well-being of all students at University Secondary School Najla.
