Description
High school students in France resumed protests on Monday after the school holidays. The demonstrations were considerably smaller than before the two-week break, AnewZ reported. Attempts to block schools were recorded in several cities, including Paris, Marseille and Rennes.
According to France’s Education Ministry, about 41 high schools — roughly 1% of schools nationwide — had been blocked by 9:30 a.m. In the weeks before the break, demonstrations had affected hundreds of schools across the country.
The protests began in September in the Paris suburbs before spreading to other parts of the country. What started as discontent over conditions in schools has grown to include concerns about the rising cost of living and social inequality. Union representatives have joined the demonstrations alongside students and activists.
