French school protests continue as students cite crowded classes
Teenagers have blockaded schools and demonstrated since last week over several grievances. Students at one Paris school told France 24 that classes had more than 36 students.
School blockades and demonstrations by teenagers in France continued on 29 September, after protests began the previous week. The grievances cited in the France 24 report were not detailed.
At Lycée Hélène Boucher, students told France 24 journalist Antonia Kerrigan that classes had more than 36 students.
The class-size figure is based on students’ accounts and has not been independently verified. The report does not establish how many classes it applies to or whether it reflects conditions at other schools.
France 24 described protests in Paris and beyond but provided no further details on their scale or locations.
