Malala Yousafzai attends first lecture at Oxford University #MakerEducation

Malala Yousafzai’s journey for education continues to be both inspiring and exciting. We wish her luck at Oxford!

BBC News reports:

Most people going to their first university lecture worked hard to get there – but few have a journey like Malala Yousafzai.

Today the world famous education campaigner tweeted a picture from her first class at Oxford University – five years after she was shot in the head by militants in Pakistan.

The 20-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner accepted a university place in August at Lady Margaret Hall college to study philosophy, politics and economics.

5 years ago, I was shot in an attempt to stop me from speaking out for girls' education. Today, I attend my first lectures at Oxford. http://pic.twitter.com/sXGnpU1KWQ
