A complex aspect of modern society, teenage motherhood is a global phenomena that affects both industrialized and developing nations (Treffer, 2017). (Lucker, 2017). Teenage parenthood is still a barrier to education for girls and young women in developing nations ( Eloudou, 2018). Theron and Dunn (2016) contend that adolescent pregnancy is particularly disruptive to the educational process of girls and, as a result, many teen mothers leave school and never return. Kaufman (2019) asserts that both teenage pregnancy and parenting are the leading reasons girls give for dropping out of school. When a girl in her teenage years becomes a mother as a result of becoming pregnant, this is known as teenage motherhood (Brady et al., 2017). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 5.5 million of the 16 million girls who become pregnant each year do so in sub-Saharan Africa (Global Giving, 2012; Were, 2017).
