It is not an uncommon feature anymore to find young mothers in Venda secondary
schools busy with their studies. These young mothers, referred to as schoolgirl
mothers in this investigation, do however, battle in general with their studies and
experience problems different from those of ordinary schoolgirls. It was, therefore,
decided to launch an investigation into the problems related to the learning situation
of such schoolgirl mothers.
The formation of relationships by the adolescent has been used as a point of
departure for this study. Contrary to expectations, the empirical investigation has
revealed that schoolgirl mothers maintain basically good relationships with themselves,
their studies and others. On the other hand, their academic achievements are
significantly lower than those of ordinary schoolgirls. Further research is necessary
to shed more light on the situatedness of schoolgirl mothers in general and in Venda
secondary schools in particular. / Psychology of Education / M. Ed. (Psychology of Education)
