Education is important to Malala, because she wants to prove that girls need education too. To start with, the Taliban is trying to get Malala and all other girls to stop going to school. ”His followers chanted poems that sounded beautiful, but were in fact messages to motivate girls to stop going to school.” That is basically saying the Taliban has chants for girls to stop going to school. To tell the truth, the Taliban is bringing war into this.”The world has gone mad.Fazlullah and his men have blown up the girls school in Matta.”This is saying what they’ve done to bring war into this.That’s why knowledge was critical to Malala.
