The Taliban and its allied groups as well as local warlords have set ablaze 144 schools this year and forced closure of scores of others, depriving over 100,000 children of education in Afghanistan, rights groups have reported. Human Rights Watch says schools were forced to close down in entire districts in the southern provinces bordering Pakistan's North West Frontier Province (NWFP) and Balochistan.
