A post sighted by YEN.com.gh on the Facebook page of UEW Diaries celebrated Prince for becoming a university student at a very young age.
"Inspiring moments with a determined 13-year-old pursuing his degree at the University of Education, Winneba." the caption read.
A video which has also gone viral on TikTok showed the moment the 13-year-old prodigy apparently after attending lectures was stopped by some students who were left in awe and could not stop admiring him.
Although they tried to engage him in a conversation, Prince simply kept quiet and listened to them talk after which he walked away.
Some children are naturally intelligent
An educationist, Daniel Fenyi in an interview with YEN.com.gh remarked that the academic achievements of Prince should not come as a surprise.
He explained that every society has prodigies and we should not suppress their talents or skills.
"Renowned persons like Tsatsu Tsikata, Alan Kyeremanten, and Ruth Gyan, who entered KNUST at 13 have all become responsible adults. Age is just a number. Assessing academic and emotional maturity could be more beneficial to ensure students can thrive in a school environment."
At the time of writing this report, the video had raked in over 23,000 likes and 200 comments.
