Student protests continued across France on Friday, October 2nd, marking over ten days of mobilization demanding increased resources and improved conditions in schools. Over 564 high schools were disrupted by blockades as students continue to demonstrate. The French government has condemned instances of “urban violence” associated with the protests, while the movement expands to include universities. Minister of Education Édouard Geffray is meeting with student and parent associations today to address the ongoing concerns. The protests reflect widespread dissatisfaction with the current state of education in France. The government is under increasing pressure to find a resolution to the escalating situation.
