28 October 2010
As Ronnie Bowie, President of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries, welcomed new Fellows at a ceremony at Staple Inn Hall today, 28 October, the Profession also welcomed 12 year old Wajih Ahmed and 10 year old Zohaib Ahmed to Staple Inn.
The boys both have A* A level mathematics and both want to be actuaries. Last month, they spent a day with Ronnie and his colleagues at Hymans Robertson as they learned the actuarial ropes while being filmed for a Channel 4 documentary being shown this evening at 21.00.
Wajih and Zohaib spent the day learning about the history of actuarial science as well as finding out just what it takes to qualify as an actuary.
