Many Tanzanians have condemned President John Magufuli's comments that schoolgirls who give birth should not be allowed to return to school.
An online petition has been set up to get the president to reverse his comments.
Mr Magufuli warned schoolgirls at a rally on Monday that: "After getting pregnant, you are done."
A law passed in 2002 allows for expulsion of pregnant schoolgirls.
The law says the girls can be expelled and excluded from school for "offences against morality" and "wedlock".
