“It is never too late to learn.”  It was so said.

 

SUKOTHAI: -- And that is why grandma Kim-lun Jinakul is the oldest graduate – at the age of 91 – at the graduation ceremony to be held at the Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University (STOU). Her family will escort her from Phayao province to the university on August 9 to receive her Bachelor’s degree in Human Ecology.

 

His Majesty King Vajiralongkorn Bodindradebayavarangkun will preside over the graduation and will confer degrees upon the STOU graduates.

 

“If we don’t learn, don’t read and know nothing, how can we talk with someone else?  If we always read – be it a newspaper or listen to news broadcasts – we will be kept abreast with the goings-on in the world, in our country and in the society,” Grandma Kim-lun told the Thai PBS during the rehearsal of the graduation ceremony.
