She’ll be studying the Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) course at Lady Margaret Hall, a program completed by a large number of Britain’s Prime Ministers and BBC political reporters.
It’s not surprising that Malala’s been accepted into such a prestigious institution. After being attacked by the Taliban in 2012 for her support of female education, Malala set up her own fund to help females gain access to education and wrote the bestselling book, I Am Malala.
