French Student Protests Resume on Smaller Scale Amid Government Response
French high school student protests resumed on a smaller scale after a two-week break, with blockades reported at about 41 schools nationwide, down from hundreds previously. The protests, part of a broader movement including trade unions, focus on issues like the cost of living, school conditions, and university admissions. Education Minister Edouard Geffray acknowledged the protests but emphasized that blocking school access is illegal. The government has proposed measures including class size caps and school renovations, but student representatives find them insufficient and plan to continue protesting.
