A primary school pupil has spent the past two months learning the capitals of more than 200 countries off by heart.

Kabir Soneja, from Riverview Park in Gravesend , utilised his time off from school to test his skill.

The six-year-old can now recite 208 capital cities from memory, including Ghana, Haiti, Singapore, Slovakia, Uzbekistan, Armenia and the Democratic Republic of Congo – just to name a few.

His mum, Nisha Notani, said: "We are extremely proud of Kabir, and really amazed by his thirst for knowledge, along with determination of not giving up.

"We bought him a world map for his sixth birthday and a few days after Vicky [Kabir's dad] saw Kabir staring at it.

"Kabir was curious to know how many countries there are around the world and their capital cities.

"Vicky printed off a sheet from the internet, and challenged Kabir to learn 50 capital's cities."

"Kabir took the challenge even further and said he wanted to learn all of them – at first, we thought he was joking, but then we soon realised he really wanted to do it.

"Vicky kept Kabir motivated and both father and son agreed a night time routine where Vicky helped Kabir revise the capital cities learnt so far, and then adding two or three new countries to the list every night.

"This continued until the list was exhausted and we realised he could recollect all of the capital cities in one go."

Kabir now aims to solve the 3x3 Rubik's cube and hopes to learn all 700 dinosaur species.
