France allocates 3000+ substitute teachers amid student protests
The French government, led by Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu, announced a plan to provide over 3,000 substitute teachers to schools suffering from a severe shortage of educational staff. This move is in response to student demands and protests involving more than 71,500 people, aiming to improve teaching conditions and increase the number of teachers. The measures include hiring substitute teachers in 114 affected high schools, employing hundreds of additional staff members, and relying more heavily on existing teachers to fill short-term absences. The government also pledged to provide extra funding and make adjustments in the 2027 budget to address the long-term crisis, amid escalating protests across various regions and criticisms of the police's handling of the demonstrators.
