JAKARTA - The COVID-19 pandemic that has taken place since last year has not only caused the death of 3.12 million people in the world. The pandemic has also hit the economic sector to the education sector.

Yes, being one of the affected sectors, the world of education must change the face-to-face learning system that has been carried out so far, into online distance learning which is a lot of trouble for students and parents.

But for Mohammad Nooruddin from Hyderabad, India, the COVID-19 pandemic has brought blessings. Yes, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, he was able to pass the 10th grade exam after 33 years!

Funding his own schooling, Nooruddin has failed to complete his 10th grade exams for the past 33 years, due to one subject, English. His failure in that subject, made him unable to graduate all this time.

"I am weak in English, because no one helps or gives me school fees. I study with the support of my brothers and sisters," he said.

Not only did he fail to graduate, as a result of this Nooruddin also found it difficult to apply for jobs. Good fortune sided with him, when Noorudin was accepted to work as a security force, without needing to show evidence of grade 10 grades in 1989 ago.

Since then, for 33 years Nooruddin has always tried to take the graduation exam, in the middle of his duties as a security force, even though he always failed to pass because of English lessons.

Luckily, the Telangana Government, Hyderabad decided that all 10th grade students passed, without the need to take exams and could continue to the next level of education, because of the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This also applies to Nooruddin. The reason is, he has not graduated and is still listed as a student since he took grade 10 education 33 years ago.

"I was able to continue working as a security force since 1989 and earn a salary of 7 thousand Indian rupees. Now I have four children," he said.

Not wanting to be complacent, Nooruddin wanted to continue his education until he graduated, then take a post-graduate program.

"Educated men are respected everywhere," he concluded.
