The world's oldest primary school student Priscilla Sitieni, who inspired a French film and won praise from UNESCO, dies in Kenya aged 99
She was 94 when she persuaded the headmaster of the local school in her village in Kenya's Rift Valley to admit her, according to UNESCO, which hailed her as"a role model for her community and beyond."
Her grandson, Sammy Chepsiror, told The Standard newspaper that Gogo Priscilla , as she was fondly known, died at home on Wednesday after developing a chest complication. "I wanted to show an example not only to them but to other girls around the world who are not in school," she said."Education is your future. Education remains in your head forever and you cannot lose it once you have it."
