Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
Renu Hans, a 45-year-old woman with speech and hearing impairments from Jammu, India, passed her Class 10 exams administered by the Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (JKBOSE).
Hans previously attempted the exam before her marriage but did not pass. After a 22-year gap, she retook the exam in April and received the results on September 10, achieving a score of 82 percent. Hans’s son, Naman Koul, a Class 12 student, played a key role in her success.
He provided lessons, answered her questions, and balanced supporting his mother with his own studies. Koul believed his mother deserved the opportunity to pursue education and potentially find employment, stating she had held this dream for a long time. The family migrated from the Kashmir valley in the early 1990s due to the displacement of the Kashmiri Pandit community. They now live in a government flat in Lower Roop Nagar, Jammu, after leaving their ancestral home in Kulgam district.
Hans’s husband, Bablu Koul, is also speech and hearing impaired and supports the family through tailoring. Despite facing hardships, both parents supported their son’s education, and Bablu encouraged Renu to pursue her educational goals without fear.
