Top female student takes on corruption in Egypt after scoring zero on exams...

Softly spoken schoolgirl Mariam Malak has become an unlikely symbol of the fight against corruption in Egypt after scoring the sum total of zero in her final exams.

The 19-year-old top student, a teacher’s daughter in a small village in the poor southern province of Minya, dreams of becoming a doctor like her two brothers.

In previous years she aced her exams, and had expected a similar result in her final year.

Now nicknamed the “zero schoolgirl” in the local press, Malak had scored 97% in her previous two years.

But Malak was shocked to find that she had been failed in her finals, and says her answers had been replaced with someone else’s – clearly not in her handwriting. Full story...
