“I could not complete my school education because of my marriage at a very young age. But my husband encouraged me to appear for the Class 10 exams with my son,” said Bebi, who works for a cloth manufacturing firm.
The woman’s husband Pradip Gurav and her son helped her study and egged her on the journey to becoming an SSC passout.
“Both my wife and son studied hard together and secured good marks. I am happy and proud of their performance,” said Gurav, a journalist with a regional daily.
Bebi would carry her textbooks to work and study during breaks and revise grammar, mathematics and other subjects with her son, while cooking meals for the family.
With her new-found confidence, Bebi has now set her sights on the Higher Secondary School Certificate or Class 12 examination.
