THE Ministry of Education yesterday denounced the horrendous attack on a school in Peshawar in Pakistan.

The ministry said in a release it was saddened by the unnecessary and violent death of so many innocent children, teachers and other staff members of the school.
“Our thoughts are with all the families and loved ones and the government and people of Pakistan,” the release stated.

Every child has the right to education and every effort should be made to help children avail themselves of educational opportunities. This right to education should never be interfered with, least of all through violence and intimidation, the release concluded.
