France is responding to a severe heatwave with widespread disruptions to the school system. Education Minister Edouard Geffray announced that 1,352 schools and middle schools will be closed on Monday due to the extreme temperatures. An additional 4,042 schools have implemented modified schedules, primarily releasing students earlier in the day, often starting at midday. Some institutions are utilizing air-conditioned rooms to continue instruction. These measures aim to protect students from the health risks associated with the heatwave. The government is prioritizing student safety as temperatures continue to soar across the country. Further adjustments may be made depending on the heatwave’s duration and intensity.
