Fifteen-year-old Maryam Siddique from Karachi has made history. She has become the world’s youngest person to pass all 17 ACCA examinations. She completed the full set of papers in just over one and a half years.
ACCA is a respected international accountancy qualification. Students normally need several years of hard study to finish all the exams. Maryam’s success at such a young age shows her strong talent, focus and determination.
Pakistani media reports say her achievement broke the previous global record for the youngest ACCA qualifier, which was held by a candidate from India. Education experts have praised her for showing that age does not have to stop someone from reaching high goals.
Maryam’s story has inspired many students and young people in Pakistan and beyond. Teachers, parents and the public have congratulated her. They see her success as a proud moment for the country and a positive example for the next generation.
