It is hard to find a person who can follow in the late Kimani Ng'ang'a Maruge's footsteps and go back to class at an advanced age. Mr Maruge is the man who caught the world's attention when he enrolled in Standard One on January 12, 2004 at the age of 84.

But although she is unlikely to beat Maruge's record and break his Guinness World Record, Loise Tukongole, 71, is on the road to putting her name in the annals of history for the same reason as the man who was described in the movies as "The First Grader".
