Leti Maca Maria has proved that being a female market vendor and a school dropout is no hurdle to attaining a tertiary qualification.

The mother of three children recently graduated with a Bachelor of Arts major­ing in Sociology and Social Work from the University of the South Pacific (USP).

Originally from Udu Point, Macuata, Ms Maria, 42, dropped out from Year 13 at Holy Family Secondary School in Labasa because she was not good at mathemat­ics.
