The Agenda with Steve Paikin: Ziauddin Yousafzai: Pakistan's Fight for Education
While Ontario students count down the days until summer vacation, children in Pakistan's Swat Valley count down the days until they can safely return to school. In recent years, the region has faced the onslaught of a Taliban enemy determined to prevent girls from receiving an education. In October 2012 they boarded a Pakistani school bus and shot then-15 year-old Malala Yousafzai, a vocal advocate for female education. Malala survived. The next year she was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. What bred such an unwavering spirit? Malala's father Ziauddin Yousafzai, chair of the Malala Fund, sits down with Steve Paikin to discuss his family, his fight for education, and the fame his daughter has received.

The Spectator's view: Let’s give our kids wings to fly

Ziauddin Yousafzai — the father of education rights activist Malala Yousafzai — recently spoke to kids at Hamilton's Ray Lewis elementary school. He inspired the students with his message about the importance of education. But he has an equally profound message for us all — respect for the power and purity of children.

"We can learn a lot from children," he said. "You see, children are innocent … free of jealousies and negative competitions. As adults, we have tribal feuds and wars. And when people say something is childish, really, it's adultish."

His daughter had the courage to stand up to the Taliban because he "did not clip (her) wings." "I encouraged her to fly." Malala is incredibly special — few 15-year-olds would be willing to sacrifice their lives to attend school. But consider the bravery of her father, who let her take a stand despite being "just" a kid.

How often are kids held back or negatively influenced by adults with their own fears or preconceptions about the way the world should be, about what is right and what is wrong? How often do adults limit their expectations of kids and, in the process, quash their dreams? What more could our children accomplish if we gave them the wings to fly? That is a message worth considering.
