Nice to hear about good people getting what they work for.

She’s one smart cookie, as well as a great role model.

[ Could you put her name in the title of this thread, pretty please? ]

The fact that that the people who attacked her did so out of a degranged hatred for female education adds a lovely added bit of poignancy to her getting a degree from Oxford.

She should go post-grad, just to rub it in.

There's precious little good news about these days but this gets a double thumbs-up.

People with PPE degrees from Oxford are more likely to govern countries than work in a supermarket.

Nerd, you beat me to it.

A PPE from Oxford is no normal degree.

From the Guardian piece linked above

Not everyone thinks that last-minute cramming and improvisation – Cameron’s hastily-arranged EU referendum comes to mind – is the best way to run a country. Last October, the leading Brexit campaigner and former government education adviser Dominic Cummings wrote on his influential blog: “If you are young, smart, and interested in politics, think very hard before studying PPE … It actually causes huge problems as it encourages people like Cameron and Ed Balls to … spread bad ideas with lots of confidence and bluffing.”

Lucky we dodged that bullet then with Boris.

I would suggest Oxford giving Malala a place on the course would help give a certain alternative perspective on world matters during discussions!

Awesome person

Addressing the full UN Assembly and a Nobel Peace Prize by the age of 17 too.

Agree with comments above, the world needs more Malalas and fewer Boris’

If she is the future leader I shall ask her a question having graduated with PPE.

If war really breaks out between China and India whose side does she support?

Oh well done for graduating ...

Nobody tell Chewy that she probably isn't a regular on here.

Imagine if she used her influence and intelligence to destroy those who sought to stifle her. Be a good film that.
