Teen with Einstein's IQ taking 28 A-levels wants more support for gifted pupils
- 4 months ago
Ateenager who is taking 28 A-levels and has the same IQ as Albert Einstein says gifted pupils in state schools need more support.
Mahnoor Cheema, who took 33 GCSEs, moved from Pakistan to the UK when she was nine and said that for several years the schools she attended didn’t know what to do with her potential.
She claimed teachers at her Church of England primary school in Berkshire wouldn’t allow her to move up a year, despite always getting through her class work quickly and easily.
Instead they would give her extra maths to do, which she didn’t find any more challenging.
