HONG KONG (Reuters) - A nine-year-old mathematics prodigy has become Hong Kong's youngest undergraduate, waltzing through his first day at university saying classes were too easy.
March Boedihardjo, an Indonesian-Chinese boy resident in Hong Kong, was accepted by Hong Kong's Baptist University to study for a master's degree after gaining straight As in entrance A-level exams usually taken at 17 or 18.
"It was too easy," Boedihardjo told reporters after attending a convocation ceremony in a pint-sized black-gown and his first day of classes on Tuesday, adding that he'd already learnt the subject matter a year or two ago.
The university has designed a five-year programme for the child, but it has stirred controversy among some education experts who say he might experience stunted personal and social development as a result.
