French schools face violence and closures

Report on the high school student protests in France that erupted last week due to long school hours and unsuitable school conditions, including high temperatures inside classrooms and a shortage of staff. This has led to the closure of more than 560 schools and escalated into acts of violence, with clashes against police and damage to school entrances in Paris and several other cities. The French government condemns the violence and considers that the protest movement has been hijacked by fringe groups. Approximately 170 students and 40 school principals were injured, and some schools have been closed, with responsibilities largely handed over to parents. These protests come amid political tension ahead of the presidential elections, with the leftist "France Uprising" party being accused of backing them. Currently, the government is seeking dialogue with unions and student associations to curb the escalation.
