Convocation 2023: Meet Omer Malikyar
Omer Malikyar will never take education for granted.
That’s because, on the road to his June graduation with a degree in political science and Canadian Studies from the Faculty of Arts & Science, the member of Woodsworth College has had to summon courage and perseverance that is almost beyond human imagining.
Malikyar was born and raised in Ghazni, a trading and transit hub in southeastern Afghanistan. His father, a school principal, has spent the past 25 years operating a school for girls. Under the Taliban regime, his students are forbidden from pursuing formal learning past the Grade 6 level.
