Editorial Perspective

Incidents of extreme violence by minors inside schools are deeply alarming and cannot be ignored as isolated acts. Authorities must thoroughly investigate whether there are ideological, radical, social or psychological influences behind such actions. Ensuring strict monitoring, early intervention and a safe educational environment is the responsibility of both the Government and the security agencies.
