He may be younger than their children but one of Britain’s
brainiest children, a Muslim, has been hired by a University
to help adults with their sums as reported by Daily Mail.
Yasha Asley, 14, is employed by the University of Leicester
– where he is also a degree student – to run tutorials.
He became the youngest ever student at the University and
is now the youngest ever employee.

Yasha was interviewed and offered the paid job when he
was just 13–years old – beating adult applicants. Admin
staff had to apply to Leicester city council for special
permission to employ him because he was so young.
The weekly tutorials Yasha runs are for adult students who
need help and support solving problems following lectures.
Proud Yasha said:
‘I am having the best years
of my life. I love going to
university and I love my new
job helping other students.
No more school uniform for
me thank you very much.’
Yasha, who has been dubbed a ‘human calculator’, is now in
his final year and plans to start a Phd when he finishes his
course.
The child genius attended a state primary school before
winning his place to study degree level maths at just 12
years old in 2014.
He was the first child in the
world to achieve an A grade
in maths A Level scoring
100 per cent and 99 per
cent in two of the six papers
when he was just 8 years
old.
He passed more A levels in maths and statistics aged 9 and
10.
After finishing year 6 at primary he went straight to
University. Of his achievements, Yasha said:
‘I love maths because it is
an exact science. It is the
only science where you can
prove what you say is
correct. It is so easy and an
enjoyable subject to study.’
Proud father Moussa Asley, 53, who raised him single-
handedly at their home in Leicester, said his son had been
made welcome by staff and students alike.
Mr Asley, who drives his son to lectures every day, said:
‘I am just so proud watching
him flourish and grow doing
something he loves.
He is so good at
understanding problems
and explaining them in a
clear way he is perfect for
the job.'

He'll probably end up being a lecturer and achieve nothing. Please he should do something better when he's older.

Believe me, we have a long way to go in this country with people thinking like this. What do you mean by he will achieve nothing as a lecturer? Being a lecturer itself is an achievement. At just 14 this boy is a world-acclaimed genius - he has already achieved a great deal, infact, if you don't know. And he will achieve more even if he chooses to remain in the academics - for he will be grooming people to take on responsibilities in society. Maybe you're thinking atypical Nigerian who sees "achievement " only in terms of material acquisitions, even if ill-gotten (like thieving politicians, pastorenuers, yahoo-yahoo boys).

because if a terrorist who claims 2 be a Muslim does evil the media tag him "Muslim terrorist". For being special now we tag him "Muslim boy". After all he is a boy and a muslim.
