<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 15.953125px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">78-year-old 
Mariana Ong’ango Ololo, a new pupil at Obambo Primary School, is not 
only the oldest pupil in her class, the grandmother is also the oldest 
pupil in the school. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 15.953125px;">Ololo,
 who hails from Siaya county, reportedly showed up at the school 
unannounced on 14 May, in a school uniform with a shaved head and 
accompanied by her 56-year-old son George.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 15.953125px;">The
 school principal Joseph Muloand told the Daily Nation, “It is a unique 
case. We have to lay down a strategy of handling such an elderly pupil.”
 Ololo has already missed classes on several occasions due to her poor 
health.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 15.953125px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The Nation 
reports that she is a mother of eight and has been a widow since 2002. 
She reportedly started school because of an interest in politics and was
 inspired to do so by the election of Uhuru Kenyatta. She told the Daily
 Nation, "“Uhuru Kenyatta is not an old man, but took over as fourth 
President because he has got an education. That is a clear indicator 
that a person cannot rank highly in society without an education.”</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 15.953125px;">Her
 story is very similar to that of Guinness World Record holder Kimani 
Maruge who enrolled in primary school at the age of 84. Maruge had a 
2010 movie, called The First Grader, made about his experience.</span></div>
