Esther Okade, a ten year old
British-Nigerian has been accepted to study for a maths degree at the UK’s Open
University.
At age six, she gained a C grade
in her maths GCSE at Ounsdale High School in Wombourne, Wolverhampton. She
applied to the Open University in August 2014 – and after a phone interview, an
essay and an exam, she was told in December that she had been accepted to study
Maths at the institution.
Esther and her younger brother
Isiah, who is already studying for his A-levels, are both home-schooled by
their mother Omonefe Okade. Omonefe a mathematician herself converted the
living room of their semi-detached, three-bedroom house into a makeshift
classroom.
She enrolled three weeks ago and
is already top of the class, scoring 100 per cent on a recent test.
In addition to math, Okade also
loves Frozen and playing with doll. She has dreams of obtaining a PhD, running
her own bank, and becoming a millionaire.
