Malala Yousafzai, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, Starts at Oxford
Malala Yousafzai, the 20-year-old Pakistani activist who was shot by the Taliban for advocating
girls’ education, began her studies at the University of Oxford this week.
"Today, I attend my first lectures at Oxford."
5 years ago, I was shot in an attempt to stop me from speaking out for girls’ education.
Clare Woodcock, a spokeswoman for the university, confirmed on Tuesday
that Ms. Yousafzai has enrolled at Oxford but said the school would make no further comment.
Ms. Yousafzai, the world’s youngest Nobel Peace Prize laureate, announced on Twitter on Monday
that she was attending her first classes at the elite British institution.
