ABSTRACT
Sub-Saharan Africa has one of the highest levels of teenage pregnancies in the world. In spite of that, there is paucity of research on causes of teenage pregnancies in African countries. Teenage pregnancies and the eventual dropping out of school has been and still is a major problem bedeviling the education sector in many parts of developing countries. This study investigated the influence of cultural factors, economic factors, peer group pressure and social media on teenage pregnancies among secondary school students in Command secondary school. The study employed descriptive survey research design. The sample size was of 359 (n=359) students and 9 (n=9) teachers from the school were selected to participate in the study. Stratified sampling and random sampling were used to pick the respondents. Questionnaires were used to collect data from teachers and the students while an interview guide was used to collect data from education officers in the local government. Data was analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively using SPSS version 21.0. With regard to cultural factors and teenage pregnancy and specifically concerning the teachers, the study established that cultural background hindered the teachers from effectively teaching sex education. The study established that most parent /parents taking their children to the school are into business. The study also deduced that electronic media influences teenagers to have sex at an early age and those students are pressurized to have sex by their friends. This study recommends that efforts on educating people regarding teenage pregnancy should be focused on areas experiencing high levels of poverty.
