Change "She is also the world's youngest Nobel Prize laureate, and second Pakistani." to "She is also the world's youngest Nobel Prize laureate, and the second Pakistani to ever win a Nobel Prize."

I sincerely doubt that she is the second Pakistani ever to exist. 98.2.224.190 (talk) 22:50, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Graduated with honors

The current text is "On 19 June 2020, Yousafzai said after passing her final examinations, that she had completed her PPE degree at Oxford and graduated with honors." No, she graduated with honours. Would someone with editing access change this inappropriate use of US niche spelling? 2A00:23C8:8E90:AE01:8458:983:E499:236E (talk) 10:55, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Taliban's ban on girls' education beyond 6th grade

The current text is "Yousafzai condemned the Taliban's ban on girls' education beyond 6th grade" This is not consistent with the reference, which mentions primary and secondary schools. Would someone with editing access please change the text to accurately reflect her comment. (I believe 6th grade is something in US schools. It is not something in countries relevant to this article) 2A00:23C8:8E90:AE01:8458:983:E499:236E (talk) 11:01, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
