I think there is no age limit for studying or completing education. I have seen some guys taking their classes after retirement. I always believe education is one of the way of increasing the knowledge.

I think education is a lifelong pursuit, even when you're working you can take evening classes. It's a wonderful thing and I never get tired of studying new things. There's some free art classes this summer at the local university that I'm going to try and get it on!

Yes,I agree with you.I think there is no need how old they are if they really want to study.I also know that the ability of study won't be lower as the age grower.

I also think that is no age limits for education and people gets matured and wiser as they get older.

I don't think there is any age limit for studying either. As long as you have the desire to learn and can be taught something, then why not go for it? I think anyone can learn things if they put their minds to it. they always say that you cannot teach an old dog new tricks, but I do not believe that at all. Many older people can still learn things very well.

It is never too old to learn. - The more we learn, the more knowledgeable we become and the more we can keep up with the times.
Hello dear ajithlal. You are obviously correct with the view that there is no age limit for studying. As we age, we have been learning things all the time without stopping it, which is the common case for the majority of people. The more we learn, the more we know and the happier we will be from the pleasure of study. I have been a keen learner in many new things that happen every day. I have the feeling that the more I get to know about new skill and technology, the younger I feel and the easier it is for me to keep up with the fast-developing society and times. Thank you so much for your nice topic, dear friend. Happy mylotting.

What is age ? You are as young as you think, and hence studying at any age is absolutely yes yes. Our brain is like a sponge, and it absorbs whatever you put in. If you keep your brain cells active when old, so much the better. Thirst for knowledge knows no age bar, and hence one must always encourage anybody to study, no matter what the age.

There are people who take classes and study into their 80s. I think it's never too late, either.

I agree with you, I have heard that brain cant study or grasp if we dont polish/use it. If you see a lady left her studies and got married and have not used her brain for 1-2 years cant grasp easily. I think anyone can study at any age but there should be the will to learn. enjoy :)

I don't think your ever to old to learn anything. I think education can last through a lifetime. It's never too late to go back to school, I'm doing it right now myself. I also think adults do better academically as life experience lends itself to that along with the hunger to better themselves.
