Summary:
"The report, "Dreams Turned into Nightmares: Attacks on Students, Teachers, and Schools in Pakistan," is based on 48 interviews with teachers, students, parents, and school administrators in the Pakistani provinces of Punjab, Sindh, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). It documents attacks by militants from January 2007 to October 2016 that have destroyed school buildings, targeted teachers and students, and terrorized parents into keeping their children out of school. These attacks have often been directed at female students and their teachers and schools, blocking girls' access to education. The report also examines occupation of educational institutions by security forces, political groups, and criminal gangs"--Publisher's description.
