JUST IN: 80-year-old grandma set to bag a Master’s Degree

An 80-year-old grandmother has shown that age is no barrier to formal education as she is set to bag a master’s in business administration (MBA).

Yvonne Mutambanengwe, who appeared to be the woman’s granddaughter announced the feat on her LinkedIn page.

Yvonne shared a picture of the octogenarian in her graduation gown while urging her followers to never give up on their dreams.

“I don’t normally post personal stuff on LinkedIn but couldn’t resist…. Today is an amazing day,” she wrote.

“My grandmother is graduating! She did her MBA (Master of Business Administration) and is graduating just shy of her 80th birthday!!!

“To say I am proud is again an understatement. Why did she put herself through such a huge undertaking?

“To let her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren know that if she can do, so can we all.”
