France: 400 high schools shut over protests
About 400 high schools in France were closed on Friday due to student protests that have been ongoing for a week, demanding better learning conditions. The protests initially centered in the Paris area before spreading across all regions of the country, with students blocking entrances and clashes erupting between protesters and police, resulting in injuries to over 300 police officers and gendarmes. Approximately 2,000 people have been detained, most of whom are minors. The students are calling for improved conditions, which include long hours, high temperatures, and staff shortages. While the government acknowledges the validity of the complaints, it condemns violence and is working to organize remote learning in some schools. The Minister of Education emphasized the importance of parents taking responsibility for their children and warned about the dangers of protests.
