The study therefore was designed to explore the effects of teenage pregnancy on performance in Makulubita Sub County, Luweero district. Questionnaire, in depth interview, focus group discussion and observation were used to collect data for the study with respect to factors that lead to teenage pregnancy. Quantitative data from the questionnaires were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics using statistical package of social sciences (SPSS) and then presented in tables for easy interpretation. It is evident that poor parenting, poverty and peer influence are the major causes of teenage pregnancy.
