12-year-old Gets Bca Admission

WHIZKID SET TO CREATE WORLD RECORD

For 12-year-old Shailendra Verma, born to a daily wage labourer father and an illiterate mother, life certainly starts early. The lad is all poised to become the world's youngest computer undergraduate, as he has secured admission to the Bachelor of Computer Application (BCA) course at Lucknow University (LU).

This has always been something I questioned... because a kid is academically mature does not mean he is socially or psychologically mature for an 'older' environment. Maybe some at home or private tuition should take place til he is at least 16-17 and can deal with the issues of that period of life. However, maybe the university has already made 'special' preparations for him.

Has this kid been able to play baseball or soccer? Kids shouldn't be only focussed on school even if they are very smart. Time enough for all that later.
