DOHA: Education Above All (EAA) yesterday condemned the twin bomb attack in Afghanistan, near a girls’ school, killing a small boy and injuring four others.

“Another attack on education, another innocent young life that has been lost to this horrific tragedy. Education Above All Foundation strongly condemns the latest double bombing that occurred outside Malika Omaira girls’ school in Jalalabad,” said Professor, Maleiha Malik, Executive Director of PEIC, a programme of Education Above All .

“The deliberate and continued targeting of students, teachers and educational institutions is an active attempt to destabilise Afghanistan, destroy its infrastructure, and weaken its ability to ever truly recover.

“In order to build a peaceful world, we must strengthen global governance and hold accountable all those who unleash violence against children and education,” said Professor Malik. Education Above All advocate in the defence of education and education facilities, when they are most at risk.
