Brazil has seen an increase in school attacks recently.
Earlier this month, a former pupil stabbed four teenagers, killing one, as they left school in the southeastern city of Pocos de Caldas.
In April, President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s administration announced a series of measures to increase security at schools and tackle content seen as promoting school violence on social media.
