An 8-year-old boy who passed an entrance exam to study law at a university has been blocked from enrolling because the institution wants him to finish elementary and high school first, the newspaper Correio Braziliense reported. The boy was set to enter the law school of Paulista University after successfully completing exams and a writing test last week. His father said he would take the matter to court, while Brazil’s association of lawyers called on the Education Ministry to ensure that no other elementary school pupils are given the chance to take the tests.
