Abstract

According to the results of the March 2022 school statistics of the Ministry of National Education and Literacy (MENA) of Ivoiry Coast, the pregnancy rate is 5,833 cases including 233 cases in primary and 5,600 cases in secondary. This increase in cases, despite the 2013-2015 accelerated plan to reduce school pregnancies and the "zero school pregnancies" campaign, which led to convincing results of reduction in 2014, prompted further reflection. This contribution is based on a literature review of data, based on the assumption that school-based pregnancy involves the responsibility of both youth and society in its institutions and its transmission of values. Therefore, the objective of this contribution is to determine the explanatory factors by identifying the representation of sexuality among young people without concealing the responsibility of parents and society in general. The methodology, essentially based on a content analysis in an interpretative approach, leads to results that address the persistence of the leakage of parental responsibility, the positioning of social networks as a source of information and the issue of gender-based violence related to school pregnancy rates.
