    JAIPUR, India—A 73-year-old man who failed his 10th grade high school exams for the 39th time vowed Friday to try again next year in the hopes that an education will improve his job and marriage prospects.
    Shivcharan Jatav, a farmer from the desert state of Rajasthan in western India, had no formal education as a child. He has been trying to pass the exams since 1969, when an army recruiter told him it would improve his chances of being accepted into the military.

    He wants to increase his marriage prospects at the age of 73?

    How hard is the 10th grade in India if it's take 39 tries.
    I would have given up after 2 or 3.
