No it doesn't - it gives several examples!

Any public place could be targeted - including colleges/uni's - if security is lax - they are most likely to go for easy targets - could be anything! Schools and colleges have been targeted by many nutters over the years - with many students killed, both here and abroad - there is no way you can say that terrorists wouldn't do so! They are hardly adverse to attacking innocent civilians!

National security aside - burkas pose a security risk in other ways in the education system! With a person's identity completely hidden - the system is laid wide open to potential abuse - cheating in exams, attendance in lectures etc - anyone could be under those things!
