She spends her spare time in a similar way to many other ten-year-old girls - playing with Barbie dolls and making loom bands. But
the key difference between Esther Okade and other children her age is
that she has been accepted to study for a university maths degree -
despite not going to school.
Esther,
from Walsall, West Midlands, has enrolled on an Open University course
months after she passed her A-levels - and wants to study for a PhD
before running her own bank.
