Following an unsuccessful meeting with France's education minister on Thursday, protesting high school pupils across the country say they will not let up the pressure on the government. The Yellow Vests movement has called on the students to join them at a nationwide demonstration on Saturday over working conditions and the cost of living.
High school union representatives said they were disappointed with the lack of response after their meeting with French Education Minister Édouard Geffray on Thursday evening – the third such meeting since the school protest movement began in mid-September.
