Malala top of the class in British school exams

Malala was only 11 years old when she penned an anonymous diary under the pseudonym Gul Makai – the name of a heroine from a Pashtun folk tale – that had a wide variety of readers all over the world.

“My wife Toor Pekai and I are proud of Malala getting 6A*s and 4As”.

And while the grades are seriously impressive, we wouldn’t expect anything else from the girl who became a hugely influential education activist – after she was shot in the head by the Taliban in 2012.

The 18-year-old student at the independent Edgbaston high school for girls in Birmingham performed extraordinarily well in maths and science subjects.

At the time, scores of girls’ schools were being destroyed by militants in the Swat valley where she lived.

Malala Yousafzai, the teenage education rights campaigner who came to Britain after the Pakistani Taliban tried to kill her, has scored high marks in national school exams, her father said Friday.

She was brought to England and successfully treated at Birmingham’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital before making the city her home.

It finally paid off. She passed in flying colors with a string of A and A* grades in her GCSE exams. Take the sample math test to see if you could pass it.
