He explained his reasons to News24 reporter Klevis Muka.

According to the student, each of his grandparents receives a pension of 15,000 lek. He also said that none of his cousins are here, as they are all abroad.

The high school student also alleged that school administrators had banned students from leaving lessons to join the protest.

He said the principal had forcibly kept them inside the school and that no student had been given permission to leave lessons.

Nevertheless, he said, only 10 students had managed to leave.
