A Belgian boy has graduated secondary school at the age of eight after completing six years of study in just a year and a half.
Laurent Simons, whose father is Belgian and mother Dutch has an IQ of 145 according to his parents and he has collected a diploma with a class of 18‑year‑olds.
Speaking to Belgium's RTBF radio, Laurent says his favourite subject was maths because it's so vast, there's statistics, geometry and algebra.
After a two‑month holiday from school, he will start university.
Laurent says he had considered becoming a surgeon and an astronaut but he is now thinking about going into computers.
