Afghan refugee boys buy balloons outside their temporary school for refugees on the outskirts of Kabul, Afghanistan, Thursday. According to UNESCO, education promotes peace and peace promotes education but today in Afghanistan education is at severe risk. More then 230 students and teachers were killed and around 250 schools were attacked by militants during the past three years. The worsening security situation in the southern and western part of the country is keeping almost 70 percent of school age children away from schools as 88 attacks on schools were carried out during the last six months.
