*Dammam, June 27, 2008: *Judah Deep Pereira, who hails from Goa, has made
all Indians proud by being among the youngest persons in the world to pass
the International Computer Driving Licence (ICDL) certificate examination
conducted by British Computer Society with an excellent overall grade. He is
all of nine years old and passed this prestigious professional examination
in May 2008 in Al Bassam Computer Institute, Dammam, Saudi Arabia.
ICDL, the International Computer Driving License, is the world's leading
program providing individuals with basic computer skills training and
validation/certification testing. It is used by schools and academic
institutions, corporations, Workforce Investment Boards and government
economic development programs to help prepare individuals for success in a
world where proficient use of information and communication technology is
critically important. 15 million tests have been recorded to date.
The basic computer skills that are certified are in Windows, Office package
and Use of Internet. There are a total of 7 modules. This examination is
conducted throughout the world and so far only less than 5 people have
passed out in India.
This achievement coming from one so young is all the more laudable as Judah
is the youngest to pass not only from India but also from Asia. He studies
in Bangalore, India. His hobbies include Quizzing and music. The family has
their roots in Majorda, Goa.
Judah's proud parents are Dr. Savio Pereira and Roshni Pereira from
Koramanagala. Dr. Savio Pereira is a Surgeon and Healthcare Informatics
Consultant and is an alumnus of the prestigious St John's Medical College,
Bangalore. Roshni Pereira is an educationist from Koramangala, Bangalore.
Dr. Savio Pereira is also one of the few Indian Doctors working at the King
Fahad Specialist Hospital, Dammam, a tertiary referral centre for ONCOLOGY
and Transplant service for the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia.
