Grannies and grampies were dressed up like schoolkids as they attended their graduation ceremony at a state-funded school for elderly people in Phang Nga.

These super seniors prove that you’re never too old to learn. The first class of Tai Mueng Subdistrict School for the Elderly just graduated on Monday. In the past three months, 46 seniors had been going to the school every Thursday to learn about health and mindfulness. They were also taught new skills throughout the course, Daily News reported.

Jirawit Puangchit, the mayor of the subdistrict, acted as a guest of honor. He said that the school for the elderly was initiated to support the physical and mental well-being of the elderly, and to encourage the value of never-ending learning.
