A Mexican Grandmother Graduates From Primary School At 100

Manuela Hernandez, born in the state of Oaxaca in June 1913, left primary school after just a year to help her poor family with the household chores. The Mexican grandmother has graduated from primary school at the age of 100. She only resumed her studies last October at the age of 99 at the recommendation of one of her grandchildren. She has now been handed her diploma at a celebration held in the southern Mexican state.

“I liked school very much, but I could not continue studying,” she told Uno TV and says she will  now continue her studies in secondary school.
