This book investigates the impact of teenage pregnancy on the academic performance of undergraduates at Benue State University, Makurdi. Using the Social Learning Theory as its framework, the research identifies key factors contributing to teenage pregnancy, including poor sex education, peer pressure, low socioeconomic backgrounds, and limited contraceptive knowledge. The study employs a survey method, collecting data from 400 respondents through stratified, purposive, and random sampling. Findings reveal that teenage pregnancy significantly disrupts academic performance through missed lectures, absenteeism, financial strain, and social stigma. Existing institutional strategies, such as academic flexibility and counseling, are deemed ineffective in mitigating these challenges. The study concludes by recommending comprehensive sex education, enhanced reproductive health services, peer mentorship, and targeted financial support to reduce the prevalence and academic impact of teenage pregnancy. This research underscores the need for a multifaceted approach to address this pressing issue, ensuring educational opportunities and support for affected students.
