An Ivory Coast professor, who was photographed carrying a student’s baby in class in a widely shared image, has said being a mother should not stop women getting an education.
Honore Kahi offered to take the baby as he was crying and preventing the mother from sitting in class.
He said his students were surprised, began to laugh and then took pictures.
He said they then realised that “this is a good father, this is a real man… [and] a role model”.
