Transcript
No, they're not soldiers. These armed men are actually teachers.
At this school in Pakistan, teachers have been told to carry guns in order to protect children. One is even acting as a sniper on the school roof.
Many schools have taken this unusual step following a Taliban attack that killed over 130 pupils.
This teacher says he would rather be carrying a pen.
