			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="color: #888888">A 18-year-old Muslim from the north-east England has spent no less than eight A-levels, including six A grades in Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Physics, History, critical thinking, and Urdu and two B&#8217;s in Arabic and Religious Studies.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="color: #888888">Ibrahim Khan, who has memorized the Quran, said he was inspired by his grandfather, a historian who recently passed away, and encouraged by his parents to study from a young age dueto Islam puts importance on the acquisition of knowledge. </span><span id="more-202"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="color: #888888">&#8220;Caring for my grandfather bedridden, and seeing the patience with which he ruled with intense pain, told me that had things much more to life than exams,&#8221; Khan told the Muslim News, who took part in Macmillan Academy Middlesbrough.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="color: #888888">He is now taking a gap year after securing an offer to study Philosophy and Economics Policy in Brasenose College, Oxford University. During his time abroad, he is to get the first book published WW3 his trilogy, do investigative journalism across the Middle East and Indian subcontinent, to learn three languages, and start a business.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="color: #888888">Abraham said he was &#8220;very pleased&#8221; with his results even though &#8220;a bit disappointed with B in Arabic&#8221; being one of three subjects, along with Urdu and zealous religious, which were self-taught. &#8221;I just do not my best, then I left the rest up to God to decide.&#8221;</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="color: #888888">Coming from the north-east, of Pakistani origin and a Muslim, he believes that statistically three of the most sing in education that he had to overcome. &#8221;I think my success shows that if you keep your aspirations, high, you can achieve anything, whatever your background,&#8221; he said.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="color: #888888">Until recently, Ibrahim was also a member of the &#8220;Young Muslims Advisory Group &#8216;, which advises government ministers in dealing with violent extremism. He also regularly plays cricket for his local club, which has played at district.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="color: #888888">Despite his work, he remained critical of the educational system, saying he studied full-time physics for two years, and religious studies for about ten hours only, still have a one in two which will be treated the same by the universities. &#8220; Most modern teaching techniques, simply cover the fundamental process of learning and memorisation, which is not encouraging in itself. &#8220;</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="color: #888888">Abraham said that the high difficulty should be standardized, while the new class was a &#8220;ridiculous idea&#8221; instead of taking exams difficult. &#8221;So many people are getting top grades these days it is difficult to stand out. High quality has gone down, so I decided to go with quantity.&#8221;</span></p>
