Students continue protests across France, blocking dozens of high school entrances and demanding better educational conditions.
In Paris, thousands of high school and university students, alongside teachers, gathered near the Panthéon before marching toward Place d’Italie, chanting slogans and carrying banners.
The French Education Ministry said 49 of the 3,700 high schools were closed on Tuesday morning.
The protests come as France faces mounting economic pressure and government efforts to curb public debt.
Authorities have announced measures, including the gradual replacement of the university admission platform and additional funding for some disadvantaged schools. However, protesters say the measures fall short of their demands.
The demonstrations are part of a wider wave of social unrest in France, with unions and protesters also calling for better wages, improved working conditions and the withdrawal of financial measures affecting foreign students.
