Security has been stepped up at schools across the country since the Taliban attack on December 16.

A ceremony is to be held at the Army Public school to remember the victims.

The Taliban said the attack – the group’s deadliest in Pakistan – was in response to a government offensive in North Waziristan and the nearby Khyber area that began in June 2014.
