Soot still clings to the upper walls of the Shahid Ahmadi School in Afghanistan's Ghazni Province after an attempt was made to destroy the school that has almost 400 students. Classes are still held inside the partly burned school as well as just outside because of the overflow of students. Taliban insurgents have specifically targeted educational institutions, particularly ones that offer education for women.
