Protests in France rage on, as students and teachers continue to raise awareness of staff shortages, poor school infrastructure, defective equipment, and deeper anxieties over diminishing prospects and the cost-of-living crisis.
This week, on Tuesday, more than 480,000 protestors took to the streets across France (according to the inter-union of high-school and university group), with placards which read: “Nos lycées tombent en ruines, comme nos espoirs” ("Our schools, like our hopes, are falling into ruin”) and “Diplômés aujourd’hui, précaires demain” ("Graduates today, insecurity tomorrow").
