African School

This powerful film shows how early pregnancy forces 6,000 girls out of the school system in Uganda every year. When he took up the post of headmaster at Kamurasi Primary School, Mr Ntairaho introduced a system of surprise pregnancy testing, believing that it protects the girls from prostitution and 'defilement' and reduces the drop out rate. We follow Christine, a final year student who fears she is pregnant, as she is put in for the test.
