A formal announcement in this regard is expected to be made by Pakistan's President Asif Ali Zardari during a UNESCO conference on girls education in Paris on December 10, Pakistan's Minister of Education and Training Sardar Shahjehan Yousaf said here.
The event, which will coincide with the United Nations' Human Rights Day, is designed to generate political will and accelerate action in favour of every girl's right to go to school.
15-year-old Malala was shot in the head by Taliban for leading a campaign for girls' education.
"We want that she should also be nominated for the Noble Prize," Yousaf told reporters on the sidelines of an education conference here.
He said the 15-year-old-girl, who is "recovering very well" at a hospital in Birmingham, England, will be back in the country soon.
Observing that terrorism remains a big challenge for his country, the Pakistan minister said the "incident (attack on Malala) was unfortunate and in our country and internationally we regret what happened. We are fighting against terror."
