Thahid is top boy!

This kid is an absolute diamond...


















Thahid overcomes disability to ensure exam success

EMDAD RAHMAN

Nine year old Thahidul Islam, a pupil of Columbia School recently finished top of the school recently.
Thahid came first out of 150 pupils to claim first spot in the end of year examinations at the prestigious Muwatta Weekend Maktab, an enterprising and groundbreaking educational institute based in the East End of London.

Thahid had his leg amputated at birth and has relied on medical support and the use of a prosthetic limb to help with mobility all his life.

Principal of Muwatta Weekend Maktab, M. Ashuk Hussain JP congratulated Thahid on his remarkable achievement. He said:

Mr Hussain also congratulated the parents and thanked staff for their unstinted support in helping Thahid to achieve so brilliantly.

Thahid was very pleased with his success; 'I have been working hard, but to be honest I didn't expect top get first place. I'm really pleased and I hope I can do as well again at the end of next year.'
