High Schools and Universities Blockaded Across France as Student Protests Spread

Student protests are spreading across France, with teenagers blockading high schools over overcrowded classrooms, heavy workloads, poor learning materials, and teacher shortages. The movement began near Paris and expanded to cities including Lille, Marseille, Dijon, Lyon, and Strasbourg. Hundreds of people, mostly minors, have been arrested, while students, teachers, and police officers have been injured. A national student union has called for further action, including university blockades. Officials condemn violence, but students say deteriorating education conditions are driving their demonstrations.
