Malala Yousafzai

by

Malala Yousafzai has been offered a place at Oxford University after she achieved outstanding results in her A-levels.

The 20-year-old took to Twitter to share a screenshot of her offer, adding she was “so excited to go to Oxford.”

She will study Philosophy, Politics and Economics, or PPE, the same course completed by former Pakistani Prime Minister, Benazir Bhutto, and former British Prime Minister, David Cameron.

Earlier this year, she revealed she had received offers from three UK universities (conditional of achieving three As at A-Level), but she did not say which institutions.

Following the announcement, Malala was inundated with messages of congratulations, including some from a few very familiar faces. 

In 2012, Malala made headlines worldwide after she was shot in the head on her way home from school for writing an anonymous diary about life under Taliban rule in north-west Pakistan.

Following the incident, Malala's family relocated to Birmingham, England, where she went on to study at Edgbaston High School.

Since then, the activist for female education became the youngest ever winner of the Nobel Peace Prize and was made UN Messenger of Peace.

Malala Yousafzai has been made the youngest ever United Nations Messenger of Peace. 

The 19-year-old has been awarded the honour to promote and further girls' education.

The honor has been bestowed upon her a mere four years after she was shot in the head by member of the Taliban in 2012 while on a school bus.

"I am really honoured to be the messenger of peace. Education is a right of every child, and especially for girls this right should not be neglected," she said in a speech. 

"If we want to go forward, we have to give education to girls, and once you educate girls, you change the whole community. You change the whole society."

To the girls she hopes to inspire, she said : You need to stand up, you need to believe in yourelves."

"You are the real change makers, if you do not stand up, no real change will come."

The fearless young woman also became the youngest person ever to win the Nobel peace prize in 2014, which she won when she was just 17.

Naomi Campbell has fallen victim to the perils of autocorrect in a majorly embarrassing way.

Upon the fantastic news that Malala Yousafzai had been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, the supermodel took to Twitter to send her heartfelt congratulations.

Unfortunately for Naomi, Malala’s name was autocorrected in her tweet, and she ended up congratulating “malaria” instead.

Naomi clearly had nothing but the best intentions, but we are cringing so hard for her.

To make matters worse, the tweet is still up on her account and has already been retweeted over a thousand times!

Naomi/ Naomi’s “people” – please read this and change the tweet!
