While speaking in an interview with The Herald on strategic plans to sensitize and launch campaigns at several schools to discourage children, their parents and guardians from encouraging early marriages, the minister said:
‘In secondary schools, 3650 females and 251 males dropped out of school because of early marriages nationwide and the numbers seem to be on the increase. At primary school level, we lost 305 females and 13 male children to early marriage set –ups this year.’
