Pakistani teenage braveheart Malala Yousafzai has started school in Birmingham. She will study class 9 and then choose her GCSE subjects. The school has asked the media to �allow her to attend school without intrusion and to respect the privacy of other pupils and parents�.
Speaking about her return to normal life, Malala said, �I am excited that today I have achieved my dream of going back to school. I want all girls in the world to have this basic opportunity. I miss my classmates from Pakistan very much but I am looking forward to meeting my teachers and making new friends here in Birmingham.�
Malala was shot in the head by the Taliban for �promoting secularism�. Pakistani doctors removed the bullet before airlifting her to the UK for treatment. She will now become a resident of the UK, after her father was offered a job with the Pakistani embassy in Birmingham.
