The parents of an 8-year-old boy who has been declared the world's youngest IT professional could find that computer insurance is an ideal purchase for their home.

Marko Calasan, from Macedonia, has recently become a "certified computer system administrator" after passing a Microsoft exam.

He told the Telegraph that he wants to become a computer scientist, with his ambitions also including designing a new computer operating system.

Radica Calasan, Marko's mother, told the newspaper: "He is obviously extraordinarily gifted, but children above the age of six could learn much more about computers than generally assumed."

Ms Calasan runs a computer school with her husband - and Marko is the one who fixes any technical problems with the school's systems.

Previously, a nine-year-old girl from India held the title of youngest IT professional, reports ARS Technica.

InsureandGo computer insurance can provide families with cover for their at home systems at a low price.
