High school students across France are preparing for another day of protests on Thursday, continuing demonstrations that began in late September. The students are voicing concerns over issues including teacher shortages, overcrowded schedules, and inadequate building conditions, particularly regarding rising temperatures. Despite government efforts to address the crisis, including a promise of a plan by the end of October from Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu, student leaders are calling for continued mobilization, with protests planned in cities like Paris and Fontainebleau. National education unions have also declared a general strike in support of the students' demands. Students report a lack of substantial progress following meetings with government officials, and remain resolute in their demands for “real action.” Protests have already led to clashes with French CRS riot police, as seen outside Lycee Helene-Boucher high school in Paris.
