In a country where many girls are still discouraged from going to school, Sushma Verma is a revelation. The 13-year-old girl from a poor family in North India has enrolled in a master’s degree in microbiology. She finished high school at 7 & earned an Undergraduate Degree at age 13
Sushma begins her studies next week at Lucknow’s B. R. Ambedkar Central University and her first choice was to become a doctor, but she cannot take the test to qualify for medical school until she is 18 “So I opted for the MSc and then I will do a doctorate,” she said.
Sushma is not the first high-achiever in her family. Her older brother graduated from high school at 9, and in 2007 became one of India’s youngest computer science graduates at 14.
