The Re-Entry Policy in Zambia have over time had revelation in boosting of education among girls who get pregnant while in school. However, for it to be very effective it requires to be implemented effectively and to be supported by different stakeholders including teachers, parents, and community leaders. As such, if these challenges and gaps can be identified and dealt with, the policy could be enhanced so that improved educational results are noted among the girls.

A complete analysis would involve

• Quantitative Data Analysis: Employing quantitative methods on the data on re-entry rates returned students, successes of attainment of education and health status.
• Qualitative Data Collection: Semi structured interviews to stakeholders, such as the teachers, parents and the girls, in order to capture a qualitative account of their experiences.
• Case Study Approach: Characterizing in detail case examples of schools where the policy has been put into practice to determine those practices that will bring the policy into fruition.
• Policy Review: Carrying an analysis of the existing literature that searched for effective experiences in similar policies in other countries.

By adopting these approaches, one is in a position to understand the merits and demerits of the Re-entry Policy for girl children education in Zambia and how to come up with modification and recommendation to improve this policy.
