Man who learnt to read at 18 becomes Cambridge University’s youngest ever black professor – BBC News
A man who could not read or write until he was 18 is to become the youngest ever black person to become a professor at Cambridge.
Jason Arday, from south-west London, was diagnosed with autism and global development delay in his early years, and unable to speak until he was 11 years old.
Now the 37-year-old is set to become professor of sociology of education at the university.
Official figures from the Higher Education Statistics Agency show how, in 2021, just 155 of more than 23,000 university professors in the UK were black.
Prof Arday said he has a particular interest in improving the representation of ethnic minorities in higher education.
“If we want to make education more inclusive, the best tools we have are solidarity, understanding and love,” he said.

A truce has begun in the Russian-occupied Ukrainian city of Oleshky, where residents have been trapped without food, water and electricity.
Ukrainian officials and Russia’s defence ministry say the limited ceasefire is being respected. The truce, which the White House said was secured by US First Lady Melania Trump, is meant to allow aid deliveries and a civilian evacuation on Friday.
But some residents have told the BBC there are concerns the ceasefire will not hold.
The current truce is supposed to allow supplies in and enable roads to be cleared of mines to allow people safe passage out in an evacuation planned to take place on Friday.

A BBC investigation has found online streaming apps used by children to make live broadcasts are being infiltrated by men trying to groom them.
Internet safety campaigner Qudsiyah Shah posed as a 14-year-old girl to find out what kind of dangers children could be exposed to on such services.
It comes as the National Crime Agency says it arrested more than 190 men across the UK in a single week in connection with sexual offences against children.
