New regulation protects pregnant students from expulsion
A newly declared ministerial regulation has barred educational institutions from expelling students for pregnancy.
The Minister of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation and the Minister of Education have employed authority bestowed by the Prevention and Solution of the Adolescent Pregnancy Problem Act to amend a previous ministerial regulation to now read “pregnant students will not be expelled from their educational institutions unless it is according to the students’ wishes.”
