An Ethiopian father of 11, Tadesse Ghichile, has defied the odds by enrolling at a university at the age of 69. Tadesse Ghichile, who lost his parents at a young age, couldn’t continue his formal education after middle school until much later in life. The 69-year-old father has enrolled in Jimma University in the western part of the country where he hopes to graduate with a medical degree. BBC reports that Tadesse Ghichile is a farmer. He decided to resume formal education 10 years ago, which he had left in eighth grade following the death of his parents.
