Malala Yousafzai, the education campaigner and youngest-ever Nobel laureate, has won a place to study at England’s prestigious Oxford University.
Malala, 20, who was seriously wounded by the Taliban five years ago, won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014 for her fight for the rights of girls to an education.
Malala was shot on her school bus by a masked gunman in Pakistan’s Swat Valley in 2012 after she spoke out about life under the Taliban in her blogs for the BBC. She was seriously wounded and taken to the United Kingdom for treatment. Two of her friends were also injured.
