    Child activist and Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousufzai made the country proud once again as she cleared her O’Level examinations with flying colours.

    The Nobel laureate’s father tweeted her result, showing she scored six A*s and four As in her O-level examinations.

    The 18-year-old secured A*s in Maths GCSE, Maths IGSE, Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Religious Studies. While she scored As in History, Geography, English Language and English Literature.

    Proud of his daughter’s achievement, Malala’s father, Ziauddin Yousufzai tweeted, “My wife Toor Pekai and I are proud of Malala getting 6A*s and 4As. #education for every child.”

    Nothing that Malala Yousafzai achieves seems startling anymore but she continues to make Pakistan proud. The youngest-ever Nobel laureate has also been a part of George Washington University’s Leadership Programme and appeared in Jon Stewart’s show.

    Malala also made it to Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential List twice.

    Malala was 15 when a Taliban gunman shot her in the head as she travelled on a school bus in response to her campaign for girls’ education. Last year she received the Nobel Peace Prize alongside India’s Kailash Satyarthi for risking their lives to fight for children’s rights.
