An Ethiopian woman, Almaz Derese, has taken her exams in a hospital bed about 30 minutes after giving birth.
The young lady had hoped to take the tests before the birth of her baby, but the secondary school exams were postponed because of Ramadan.
Derese, a native of Metu in western Ethiopia, went into labour on Monday moments before the first exam was due to start.
She said she had to study in her condition because she did not want to wait until next year to graduate.
She told a BBC correspondent that her labour came easily because she was rushing to write the exam.
Derese took English, Amharic and maths secondary school exams sitting on the hospital bed.
Her husband, Tadese Tulu, said he had to persuade the school to allow her to take the exams at the hospital.
Young girls are usually allowed in Ethiopia to drop out of secondary school and return later on to complete their studies.
The 21-year-old says she now wants to take a two-year course that will prepare her for university.
