Do not rush to marriage, Principal of St Joseph Secondary School in Heiban County of the Nuba Mountains appeals to girls.
Fred Drazu attributes dropout of many girls to early pregnancy, Radio Voice of Peace reports.
Drazu adds that in the first term four girls left school due to pregnancies.
He urges parents to encourage their daughters to take education serous for the betterment of their future.
A former secondary student, who is now a mother of three children, encourages girls to forget about early marriage and pursue education.
She advises girls to continue their studies because that chance comes only once.
The former student mentions that it is not easy to take up home responsibilities.
Mothers who are educated have more knowledge on how to overcome challenges in life, the young mother notes.
