A woman died today from her burns, after immolating herself by fire last Monday in the courtyard of a high school in the city of Ghardimaou, in the governorate of Jendouba.
The secretary general of the regional secondary education section in Jendouba, Farid Feddoui, told “Jawhara FM” that the deceased had committed this act after the establishment’s management had decided to transfer nine students, including his daughter, to another high school due to a number of students exceeding the authorized workforce.
Indeed, the drama occurred after the decision of the regional education police station to distribute nine students to another establishment, invoking the saturation of the classes.
Among them, the victim’s daughter. Refusing to give in, the mother had multiplied the steps and the pleas to maintain her daughter in the same high school. In vain. Faced with the inflexibility of the administration, she transformed her despair into an irreversible act, under the eyes of dumbfounded witnesses.
