CAIRO — Two months have passed since the academic year began on Sept. 20, which has not been peaceful so far as a number of students have been killed in incidents that took place at their schools, due to "negligence and the deterioration of school maintenance," according to parents interviewed by Al-Monitor.
On Oct. 13, Youssef Mohamed, a primary school student, died after a dilapidated class window at Ammar ibn Yasir public school in the rural El-Matareya district in Cairo fell down onto him, cutting his throat.
