PARIS (Reuters) – Pakistan’s President Asif Zardari pledged $10 million for girls’ education to UNESCO on Monday in the name of a Pakistani schoolgirl shot by the Taliban, saying sending girls to school was the best way to combat extremism.


"Some 61 million primary school-age children around the world do not attend school and two-thirds are girls, UNESCO said."
