History

Suicide Incidents

A 11th grade student hung himself in his home, as he was convinced he would be refused admission into the 12th grade, [4] due to a rule which enabled the school administration to discontinue the admission of a student who performed poorly in their 11th grade. [5] The parent of the student alleged that they were called twice by the vice-principal and had been told that if their child did not perform, he would be expelled as per the rules.

Four months after this incident, a 7th grade student also hung himself, [8] leaving a note blaming poor marks for his decision. [9]
