Meghalaya Man to Take Class 10 Exam After 37 Years

A 59‑year‑old man from Meghalaya is preparing to take the Class 10 examination after a 37‑year hiatus. He had left school in the late 1980s, but has recently decided to resume his studies and sit for the exam. The move has drawn attention to the challenges faced by adults who return to formal education after long absences. While details about his preparation and the specific board are not yet available, his determination has been praised by local educators.

The exam will be held in Meghalaya, and the student will be among a small group of adults attempting the test. Officials have assured that accommodations will be made to support his transition back into the classroom environment.
