Student Protests Disrupt Schools Across France as Anger Over Education System Grows
A growing student protest movement has disrupted schools across France, with teenagers demanding better classrooms, more teachers and greater investment in public education. What began in the Paris region has spread nationwide, affecting more than 1,000 schools and leading to clashes, arrests and injuries. Students say overcrowded classrooms, deteriorating buildings, staff shortages and long-standing funding problems are undermining their education. The government has acknowledged some grievances while condemning violence, as pressure builds for authorities to address the crisis.
