Student protests began in France in mid-September, and approximately one-quarter of the *lycées professionnels* (vocational schools) have joined the movement. These schools are echoing the broader demands of the protests while also raising specific concerns, particularly anxieties about what comes after the *baccalauréat* (high school diploma). Vocational schools have experienced a disproportionate amount of violence linked to the demonstrations. However, much of this violence is reportedly perpetrated by individuals not currently enrolled as students in those schools. The situation highlights the unique challenges faced by vocational students during this period of national unrest in France. These establishments feel overlooked within the larger mobilization despite their significant participation.
