Teach facts of life

Could I have free education? I have worked since leaving school, despite having two children and am now having to pay hundreds of pounds to gain higher education qualifications. Giving teenage mothers free childcare (News, 1 March) will just encourage them to have babies. Why should they worry about having children so young, if the Government is still going to fund their education?

I really don't think this is the solution to this problem. How about educating children properly about not having babies so young in the first place?
