Yes, very good achievement. A village girl risked her life and despite such an injury, getting education fighting heavy odds. Well done, Malala.

Re: Well Done Malala
Do you mean that the standard of education was okay at whichever school Malala attended? Or for those who have access to education? I get that it's a developing country with its own share of difficulties, but it's fair to balance your comment with others:sbarnes wrote:Its fantastic results and shows the high standard of education in both Pakistan...
