Malala aces her O-levels

Pakistani-born child activist and Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousufzai has aced O'Level Exams in the United Kingdom. According to the Express Tribune, the Nobel laureate's father tweeted her result, showing that she has scored six A*s and four As in her O-level examinations.


The 18-year-old secured A*s in Maths GCSE, Maths IGSE, Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Religious Studies. While she scored As in History, Geography, English Language and English Literature. Proud of his daughter's achievement, Malala's father, Ziauddin Yousufzai tweeted, "My wife Toor Pekai and I are proud of Malala getting 6A*s and 4As. #education for every child." Malala was 15 when a Taliban gunman shot her in the head as she travelled on a school bus in response to her campaign for girls' education. Last year, she received the Nobel Peace Prize alongside India's Kailash Satyarthi for risking their lives to fight for children's rights.
