Iran government' corruption threatens youth's lives


 A high school student in Karaj, who dropped out of school due to lack of money, set fire to his former school with three other friends.17-year-old Meysam, whose family could not afford to pay his three million Toman tuition, decided to set fire to his school in protest to dropping out of school and in revenge for the school principal who had expelled him.

The student had a GPA of 18.5, and his family's financial problems prevented him from enrolling in any other school, Meysam said: "I had to pay three million tomans for school tuition and my family did not have that money. I had to drop out of school for a year and I could not even get my degree. That's why I decided to take revenge on the school principal."

Meysam's classmates who were involved in the fire have also been arrested. Meysam explained that his friends had joined him in setting fire to the school after losing a game called "Dare to Truth".

Although according to the Iranian government law, even accepted by this government, education should be free for all school students, in practice, the government, with the classification of schools, receives various tuition fees between three and nine million Tomans from the students, and many families who cannot afford this amount are excluded from school.
