Britney Spears’ pregnant 16-year-old sister Jamie Lynn Spears is going back to school.

The actress – whose whose Nickelodeon TV show ‘Zoey 101′ has been axed since since the shock revelation that she was pregnant – has reportedly begun studying for the General Educational Development tests, used to gain a high school equivalency degree.

Jamie was spotted leaving the Tangipahoa Parish School System Adult Education Center in Hammond, Louisiana, on Friday carrying a GED book.

The building also houses the Title I Parent Centre, which teaches parents how to help their children improve their reading skills.

Jamie Lynn previously attended the Parklane Academy in McComb, Mississippi. She studied at the academy off-and-on for years, depending on her filming schedule.

A school staff-member claims Jamie enrolled at the school full-time in November, saying she had finished filming. After Thanksgiving, Jamie said she was needed back in Los Angeles.

The source told People magazine: “If Jamie had tried to stay, she would most probably have been expelled for being pregnant.”

A spokesman for Parklane Academy refused to pass comment.
