Malala, Shot By Taliban For Supporting Girls' Education, Celebrates Straight-A's

She is a teenaged Nobel Peace Prize winner from Pakistan, and has also received straight-As in her General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) examinations, reports the Daily Pakistan. These standardized subject tests attended by secondary school students in England, Wales and Northern Ireland help to influence their educational and professional future., according to huffingtonpost.

Malala Yousafzai's father, Ziauddin Yousafzai, tweeted his daughter's grades after they were released on Thursday:

Passing grades range from A* (the highest grade, similar to an American A-plus) to "F," while a failing mark is a "U."

She was attacked in 2012 by a Taliban gunman in Pakistan, when she was riding home from school. A group of men boarded her bus and asked for her, and then shot her in the head. After she recovered, she started the Malala Fund, a nonprofit for girls' global education.

The Pakistani 18-year-old attends a private girls' school in Birmingham, England. She also won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014, and became the youngest Nobel laureate in history.

Apart from her other commitments, her priority is her schoolwork, for which she has turned down hundreds of interviews and speaking engagements so that she can throw herself into her study, according to The Guardian.

The Pakistan-based Express Tribune wrote that Yousafzai has "made the country proud once again."
