		</div><p>Nigerian troops have driven Boko Haram extremists out of an abandoned north-eastern primary school in a shootout that killed four militants.</p>
<p>Insurgents were using the school as a transit camp until Sunday&#8217;s attack, an army statement said.</p>
<p>Boko Haram &#8211; a nickname which means &#8220;Western education is forbidden&#8221; &#8211; has attacked many schools that have closed, been burned down or been abandoned in much of north-eastern Borno state.</p>
<p>The UN Children&#8217;s Fund says more than 300 schools have been destroyed in an area where fewer than 30% of children are ever educated.</p>
<p>Nigeria&#8217;s new president Muhammadu Buhari last week told NDTV, the New Delhi station, that negotiations to free nearly 300 girls kidnapped from a school last year in Chibok town have stalled because authorities have been unable to identify &#8220;credible&#8221; Boko Haram leaders to talk to.</p>
<p>Mr Buhari last month said the group they were negotiating with was demanding the release of a top bomb expert in exchange for some of the girls.</p>
<p>The UN Children&#8217;s Fund says 10.5 million children are out of school in Nigeria &#8211; the highest number in the world &#8211; and that only half of children among 2.3 million refugees from the uprising are going to school in camps.</p>
