A 13-year-old Ugandan schoolgirl reportedly gave birth to a baby boy during a Mathematics examination in the ongoing Primary Leaving Examinations in the East African nation.

According to head teacher of the school, Mr Godfrey Ssema, who confirmed the incident, the young girl alerted the invigilator who called colleagues and rushed the girl to a nearby medical centre.

When contacted by Daily Monitor, the girl’s parents, told them their daughter’s pregnancy was caused by last year’s Covid-19 lockdown.
