Education has no age limit.

And a 75-year-old who received a master’s degree from a UAE university has proved just that.

Ali Mohammad Naji received a higher diploma in 1980, but couldn’t further his studies at the time. Now, almost 40 years later, Naji obtained a master’s degree and his son shared the incredibly proud moment on Twitter.

In just two days the story has been shared thousands of times with so many people jumping in to congratulate the man.
