Before entering the round of 16 of EURO 2024, Lamine Yamal received good news when he completed his exams well and officially completed his high school exams.
While with the Spanish team participating in EURO 2024, Lamine Yamal was mentioned a lot not only for his good expertise on the field, but this 16-year-old player is also an example of studiousness. Tomorrow he goes to the field, but in the evening, Yamal still does his homework by himself.
Yamal once shared with AS newspaper: "I brought my homework because I was in the 4th year of ESO (compulsory general education program). I also have online classes and am doing quite well, I hope the teacher doesn't call on me."
And yesterday, good news came to Yamal. The online test results showed that the 16-year-old player passed all the ESO exams.
Thus, he was able to get a high school diploma. In front of this player is the summer vacation, where he can put aside all his studies to focus on contributing to the national team and the upcoming new season campaign with Barcelona.
The player also has time to consider two options after the holidays: to study Bachillerato, the final two years of Spanish secondary education, or to focus on his football career from now on without having to worry about books. In Spain, after graduating from the compulsory ESO program, students are given the option to continue pursuing Bachillerato before going to university or vocational training.
However, according to Cadena Cope, it is almost certain that Yamal will continue his studies until he is 18. Cadena Cope commented: “There is no doubt that at La Masia, they will encourage Yamal to continue his studies until he is an adult. There will be new challenges for Yamal, because it is certainly difficult to concentrate on homework when you know that 50,000 fans are waiting for you at the stadium.”
