For many women and girls the classroom is the first and perhaps only setting in which they perform as individual rather than as member of particular family and the school serves not only as a source of new knowledge but as a source of new knowledge about themselves as well.
To know the literacy status of women and their husbands and impact of literacy status on teen age pregnancy.
Two hundred and nine teen age women delivered in the tertiary care hospital were taken as sample. Educational status of these sampled and their husband was enquired and interpretation were drawn Statistical analysis: Express in simple terma of proportion.
Only 22.96 percent husband were illiterate in comparisons their 40.66 percent wives. None of these sampled women studied in college.
Education is a driving force for better health. Teen-age pregnancy is a feature of lack of choice and self determinations in women's life. Education has a dramatic impact on this picture. Hence education of girls must be made an integral part of education policy.
