Dorothy was one student who came close to being in that group. She was expelled from school when she got pregnant. She spent months at home searching for another that would accept her. She arrived at Pretoria Hospital School earlier this year. She says she feels welcome and supported. Rina Van Niekerk is the leader of the school. She says the most important goal is to bring the students up to the right educational level and keep them on that path. She also says there are some attendance problems because of pregnancy-related sicknesses. Pretoria Hospital School opened the program for pregnant teenagers in the middle 1980s.
