Pakistan floods damage schools

The devastating floods in Pakistan have damaged approximately eight thousand schools across the country, according to United Nations estimates. Another five thousand schools have become shelters for the displaced. This means that children who were not affected by the floods will not be able to continue their education, at least for the time being. The UN says it plans to meet educational requirements by setting up temporary learning spaces in camps, while the government of Sindh province announced plans to enroll students in cities that weren't hit by the flooding.
