Over 800 girls dropped out of school last due to having fallen pregnant.
Ministry of Education spokesperson Hillary Chipango said the number could have been more as some cases went unreported.
He said the ministry was carrying out sensitization exercises to curb the ever increasing number of teenage pregnancies.
Recently 30 pupils at Kaoma High School in Western Province were sent on maternity leave after falling pregnant in the first term.
The School Head teacher Jonathan Mukenge said ten pupils who had come from basic schools had proceeded on maternity leave when they were barely in grade ten, an indication that they were pregnant even before joining Kaoma High School.
