A 21-year-old woman has disclosed in an interview that she took one of her secondary school leaving exams 30 minutes after giving birth. This news has come as a shock to many.
Almaz Derese, who is from Metu in Western Ethiopia, had hoped to sit the tests before her baby was born, but the exams were postponed because of Ramadan.
She went into labour on Monday shortly before the first paper was due to start. She said:“Because I was rushing to sit for the exam, my labour wasn’t difficult at all,” Ms Almaz said.
