The Gauteng Department of Education has noted some incorrect media reports regarding the Colloquium on Teenage Pregnancy that took place on Tuesday. The researchers indicated that on average 45 000 girl learners fall pregnant a year. In Gauteng in 2008, we had 4874 pregnant girl learners compared with 4217 in 2011.
