A woman who has served her rural
Kenyan village as a midwife for the past
65 years has returned to primary school
along with six of her great-great-
grandchildren.
Priscilla Sitienei, 90, is believed to be the
oldest primary school pupil in the world.
She enrolled at Leaders Vision Preparatory
School in the Rift Valley village of Ndalat
five years ago, with the intention of finally
learning to read and write.
Affectionately known as "Gogo", which
means grandmother in the local Kalenjin
language, Mrs Sitienei grew up under
British colonial masters and never had the
chance to go to school.
She said she wants to be able to read the
Bible, pass on her midwifery skills and
write down the herbal remedies she uses
in births.
She also hopes to inspire those younger
than her – including her own classmates,
aged between 10 and 14, some of whom
she delivered as babies.
Priscilla Sitienei has enrolled in primary
school for the first time in her life - at the
age of 90.
Her head teacher in Kenya's Rift Valley
believes she is the oldest pupil in the
world.
The former midwife is determined to learn
how to read and write and attends every
class, including, dance, English and PE in
the same uniform as the rest of her
classmates.
The BBC's Ed Thomas spent a day at the
school to find out what drives her passion
to learn.

Attention seeking period...!

Some of our leaders need to go back to school, It's not to late.
They know themselves, I don't need to call names. Not just quota education system, I mean the globally accepted form of elementary education.

Kudos to this woman. She's a rare gem.
