NEW YORK - A new report by UNESCO, the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, examines how dangerous it has become for many young people to get an education.

Bernard O'Malley, the author of the report, says the types of attacks include gunning down of groups of school children in Afghanistan, targeted assassinations in Thailand, for example, where individual teachers are targeted by assassins riding up behind them on motorbikes and shooting them, and abduction and kidnapping in places like Haiti and the Philippines.
