32-Year-Old Woman Who Rejoined School After 7 Years of Marriage Scores B+ in KCSE

A 32-year-old Kenyan woman who went back to school after seven years of marriage is set to join university after performing well in the 2020 KCSE exam. Purity Nkatha, a mother of one, scored a B+ (plus) in the national exam whose results were released on Monday. Nkatha dropped out of school in 2006 while in form two following a domestic dispute between her mother and violent step-father, who threatened to kill her before asking her to leave their home. The man later chased away her mother and siblings and sold off the family land in Timau, Meru County.
