LONDON, March 20, 2013 AP
Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani teenager shot in the head by the Taliban, has returned to school for the first time since she was targeted.
The 15-year-old joined other girls at Edgbaston High School for Girls in Birmingham for her first day back at school on Tuesday, said Edelman, the public relations agency handling her media relations.
Malala was airlifted to Britain for treatment after Taliban gunman shot her on October 9, 2012, while on her way home from school in north-western Pakistan.
Malala was released in February from the hospital that was treating her for her injuries. Doctors said she was recovering well after receiving skull reconstruction and cochlear implant surgeries.
In a statement, Malala said she was excited to return to school and that she wanted "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," she added.
