I. TITLE: EARLY TEENAGE PREGNANCY AND REPRODUCTIVE

HEALTH AWARENESS (YEAR 2)

II. PROPONENTS: MARGIE M. DEOCARIS, JUENE ELAINE A. ARMADA, RONITH C. SOTTO

III.PROPOSED DATE: MARCH 15, 2024

IV. PROPOSED VENUE: BACNAR NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

V.RATIONALE:

Teenage pregnancy is a global health issue that adversely affects birth outcomes and can lead to
intergenerational cycles of poverty and ill-health. Globally, the adolescent birth rate (ABR) has decreased, but rates of
change have been uneven across regions. There are also enormous variations in levels between and within countries.
Adolescent pregnancy tends to be higher among those with less education or of low economic status. Further, there is
slower progress in reducing adolescent first births amongst these and other vulnerable groups, leading to increasing
inequity. Child marriage and child sexual abuse place girls at increased risk of pregnancy, often unintended. .
Department of Education is committed to provide and protect the rights of Filipino learners to good education
and improved health and to help Filipino learners’ complete basic education without the burden of health concerns. It
also recognizes the roles and responsibilities of the school system to give learners their right to good health by leading
the implementation of the comprehensive sexuality education (CSE).
One of the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic is teenage pregnancy The COVID-19 pandemic has
aggravated pre-existing challenges associated with adolescents’ sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR).
Evolving evidence suggest that it could adversely impact the progress made towards improving sexual and
reproductive health outcomes among young people. The pandemic has stalled achievements in reducing adolescent
pregnancy and child marriage by reinforcing contextual and structural determinants of these reproductive health
outcomes, especially among girls. The pandemic has increased disruptions to schooling, decreased access to sexual
and reproductive health services and compounded pre-existing socio-economic vulnerabilities. The consequences of
neglecting adolescent sexual and reproductive health services over the past 2 years, to focus on COVID-19, continue
to emerge. This commentary argues for targeted and responsive approaches to adolescent SRHR that tackle
preventable consequences resulting from inequities faced by adolescents globally, particularly girls.
Before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, adolescent pregnancy was already a major public health
concern globally, with developing countries disproportionately affected. Adolescent pregnancy within or outside the
contexts of (child) marriage poses a significant health and developmental challenge. Unplanned pregnancy among
adolescent girls occurring outside the context of marriage, reduces likelihood of completing education and may also
lead to forced marriage. According to UNICEF, millions of girls worldwide are married before their 18th birthday. When
girls are married off early, they are robbed of their childhood, denied education, and deprived of the prospects of fully
developing their potential. Additionally, adolescent pregnancy has been associated with health and socio-economic
consequences. Addressing teen pregnancy prevention requires broad efforts that involve schools, health services and
the community. With all this, the SSG adviser taught of an awareness campaign for the Grade 9- Grade 12 female
students of Bacnar National High School to raise awareness about teenage pregnancy and to reduce school drop-out
rate.
