Casablanca- A student attempted to set himself on fire with gas at Errazi High School in Settat, a city in central Morocco, after a fight with his teacher.
According to the daily Al-Akhbar, the student would have died if students and teachers did not interfere quickly to save him.
The student got in a state of hysteria following a big disagreement with his math teacher concerning her grading technique. He, then, attempted to commit suicide inside the school. The student's peers and the high school staff rushed to him after he poured gas on himself .
According to Al-akhbar, some sources from the administration of Errazi High School said that it is plausible that the student's reason for doing so was to get sympathy from his math teacher.
After the problem was contained within the school, the Academy of Education was notified as well as National Security personnel who came to gather the necessary information in regards to the incident.
