Malala attends her first lectures at Oxford
October 10, 2017 07:34
Pakistani rights activist Malala Yousafzai, who secured a place at Oxford University to study philosophy, politics and economics, tweeted last night to say, @Malala "5 years ago, I was shot in an attempt to stop me from speaking out for girls' education. Today, I attend my first lectures at Oxford."
The Nobel Peace Prize winner follows in the footsteps of numerous world leaders by studying at the prestigious varsity. The UN Messenger of Peace, lives in Birmingham since she was airlifted for a life-saving surgery after being shot in the head by the Taliban five years ago.
In March, the 20-year-old had revealed her "conditional offer" to study the three subjects at the world-famous university if she achieved three As in her A-level results. It would seem she has got the grades that she required. "So excited to go to Oxford!! Well done to all A-level students -- the hardest year. Best wishes for life ahead!" she tweeted.
