Without shame, a 55-year-old man identified as Rusengamihigo Jean Marie Vianney has returned to primary school. The married man who is currently enrolled in class five learns with kids who are age mates with his grandchildren.

Speaking with Afrimax, Vianney who dropped out of school when he was in primary six said he was inspired to return to school thanks to the government.

In his words:

“I started school but later dropped out. Later, the government encouraged many people to go to school.

“And I am among people who returned to school after dropping out when I was in primary 6.” Years ago when Vianney schooled, pupils were taught in French and this has made him struggle with learning which is done in English. A clip shared by Afrimax captured a lovely moment his wife dressed him up and said some prayers as Vianney left for school.

I think that it’s too late for him to go back to school at 50 ages what he’s going to learn and also he’s dreams come true? my advice this man should go work help his wife and stop go school at this age but I wish him all the Best.”
