This study explored the experiences of parents whose daughters became pregnant while still
attending school in Limpopo province of South Africa, using a qualitative and explorative
approach. A purposive sample of five parents was interviewed. Data analysis using Tesch’s open
coding technique yielded six themes on discovery of pregnancy, continuation of school,
dilemmas of attending school, social support, impact on school performance and interaction
between parents and teachers. Parents are satisfied with support from teachers, but need to see
the implementation of school health services. A model to facilitate social support for pregnant
learners is recommended.
