Local students were invited to the meeting while lecturers from the Youth Council and the ministry office advised them of what problems they will face after engaging underage or unprotected sex.
They were told that having babies at a young age takes a big toll on parents and society, and often leads to illegal abortions and child abandonment.
Students were invited to join promotional activities to spread the lessons they learned to their peers.
