Nearly 50 schools have experienced arson attacks this year, forcing over 100 to temporarily shut down. The unrest has also led to the deaths of 16 female students, raising serious questions about safety and student welfare. Authorities are investigating the causes, with speculation ranging from exam pressure to bullying and poor school management. The incidents have sparked national anxiety and prompted calls for increased security measures and mental health support within schools. The government has deployed security personnel to affected areas and is attempting to address the underlying issues fueling the crisis. The scale of the problem is unprecedented, leaving parents and educators deeply worried about the future of education in the country.
