French student and school organizations are calling for renewed protests on Tuesday, seeking to maintain pressure on the French government. Thousands of students, teachers, and staff took to the streets across France this week to protest issues including neglected school buildings, overcrowded classrooms, lengthy school days, and a shortage of teachers. Following a meeting at the Ministry of Education, representatives expressed disappointment with Education Minister Geffray’s response, stating that no concrete commitments were made regarding improved mental health support for students or school infrastructure. Minister Geffray announced a new action plan to address the teacher shortage, particularly in exam classes, and pledged continued dialogue with the organizations and unions. Approximately 400 schools remained closed today due to ongoing unrest, and nationwide demonstrations continue; 1747 arrests were made today, bringing the total to over 5000 since the protests began, with some incidents of violence reported. Student organizations have condemned the violence, attributing it to outside agitators.
