| Subject: Recruiting girls into Army Cadets ‘could cut teen pregnancy rates’ – lame UK education minister Sat Jan 17, 2015 2:53 am | |
| Army cadet units could be used to help tackle social issues affecting teenagers from disadvantaged backgrounds, including teenage pregnancy, an education minister has said. Lord Nash, a 65-year-old banker, private equity manager and venture capitalist, said the rigor of attending regular army-style training and camps could deter girls who might otherwise “form unsuitable relationships” from doing so. Speaking to the House of Lords, the Oxford-educated peer said that while the army cadets could provide benefits to youths from all manner of backgrounds, he stressed that girls from single-mother families in particular suffered from a lack of male role models. The Army Cadet Force (ACF) is undergoing extensive expansion after Prime Minister David Cameron ordered the creation of 100 new units, predominantly in state schools. Some 65 units have been opened in the past four years, with a further 54 set to open within the next year.
