What Are French Students Demanding As Protests Spread Across The Country?

Students across France are demanding increased education funding, an end to overcrowded classrooms, more teachers and support staff, and the renovation of ageing school buildings. They are also calling for measures to reduce rising education costs and greater public investment in schools. These five core demands have fuelled demonstrations in recent days, with students accusing the government of failing to address longstanding problems in the education system. While the movement began over school conditions and unequal access to quality education, the protests have increasingly raised concerns over public order and allegations of police violence.
