As many as 30% of teachers in France walked off the job on Tuesday to protest against job cuts planned for the start of the 2026 academic year, class closures and to demand pay rises.
This day of demonstrations is part of a"week of mobilisation" launched by an inter-union coalition comprising the FSU, UNSA Éducation, CFDT Éducation formation et recherches publiques, CGT Educ'Action and Sud Éducation.
