(星島日報報道)今年十五歲，就讀拔萃男書院中七的練卓賢，中一時「越級挑戰」英國普通教育文憑高級程度考試，並取得3A佳績，去年更「連跳四級」升讀中六。卓賢去年獲三所世界知名大學取錄，包括英國劍橋大學、加拿大滑鐵盧大學及倫敦大學，成為本港另一名「神童」。校長張灼祥表示，劍橋要求卓賢達十六歲才能入學，而卓賢則坦言「仍未揀定哪所大學」。

練卓賢小四時插班入讀拔萃男書院附屬小學，中一報考英國高考（GCE A-level）的數學、增修數學、英國文學及物理四科，取得3A成績；去年獲學校批准「連跳四級」，由中二升讀中六，成為男拔創校一百四十年來首位「四級跳」學生。練卓賢前年亦曾報考英國劍橋大學的應用數學及物理學系，但當時由於仍未成年，劍橋大學回覆指暫不會取錄他。

男拔校長張灼祥昨日與傳媒聚餐時表示，練卓賢現時已獲海外三所大學取錄，包括他心儀的英國劍橋大學、加拿大滑鐵盧大學及倫敦大學，但劍橋大學提供的是有條件取錄，「由於卓賢仍未達十六歲的入學年齡，所以他最快下年才能入學」。張灼祥指出，練卓賢報讀劍橋大學的應用數學及物理學系，課程為期四年，修畢後，練卓賢可取得一個學士及一個碩士學位。

對於學校出產「四級跳神童」，張灼祥笑言，練卓賢的小學成績其實不特別標青，「他小學及初中都不是讀精英班」，後來才發現原來他認為中一的數學太簡單，反而愈抽象的數學理論，就掌握得愈好。張灼祥稱會邀請練卓賢出版一本書，教學生「面對數學時，應如何學習」。另外，他又指學校會增撥基金資助學生到外國升學，基金去年已撥一百五十萬元資助學生。

另外，首屆中學文憑試將於明年舉行，張灼祥指出，愈來愈多中五學生報考英國高考，「學生都好識計數，如果英國高考考得好，他們可以提早一年到外國升學；若考得不好，也可繼續報考文憑試」。現時中五的蕭雋霖指出，班內十多名同學今年也有報考英國高考，「我明年都會報考，若文憑試考得不好，都有後路去外國升學」。

張灼祥續指，在新高中學制下只有一個公開考試，估計一半學生未必能升讀本地大學，「學生需要更多職業輔導，學校會額外增聘人手，加強校內輔導工作」。
