<p>The UK regards equal access for girls and women to all levels of education and
training as a human right. Educating girls brings economic and social benefits. I
raised our concerns about access to education and training for pregnant teenage women
with the Government of Tanzania when I visited Dar es Salaam in August this year.
I stressed the need to look at the root causes of the problem, such as lack of knowledge
and access to sexual reproductive health and rights, sexual violence against girls
and child marriage. Tanzanian law and policies promote and protect girls' rights to
education notably through the Education Act, the Child Act and the Education and Training
Policy.</p>
