In a unique rural school in India, elderly women aged 60 to 90 are fulfilling their dreams of education. Previously, they stayed home while their brothers studied. Now, they attend a school known as 'the school of grandmothers' for two hours daily. The school, located 120 km from Mumbai, was founded by a charitable organization and challenges traditional attitudes with its colorful uniforms. The initiative aims to break taboos and promote equality, allowing these women to sign their names with pride. The school fosters a sense of community, with students often receiving homework help from their grandchildren.
