A 32-year-old South Sudanese man who goes by the name Joel Majok, has left people talking after joining the same school as his son to better his language skills.
The man, who is a refugee from Sudan, is said to have refused to join Class Seven and instead insisted on joining Grade (primary) three at Sosiani Primary School in Eldoret, Uasin Gishu County.
Majok told Citizen TV that his ultimate goal is to learn the Primary languages because he doesn’t speak either of the two, English and Kiswahili.
Joel Majok believes that learning those basic languages will help him in communicating and also better his life and that of his family.
“I started school because I want a good life for myself and my family,” Majok said.
The Sosiani Primary School headteacher Nicholas Kosgei welcomed the move, saying it would also help instill discipline among other pupils who will view Majok as a role model.
“He declined a request to start at class 7 since he would like to understand the basic languages,” Kosgei said.
According to the head teacher, receiving the parent in their school will serve as an encouragement to other pupils.
