Student protests sweep France as calls for education reform grow

An estimated 250,000 protesters have taken to the streets across France, stepping up pressure on the government for education reforms. The unrest has also put a spotlight on inequalities in the education system, particularly in poorer, high-immigration communities where schools have fewer teachers and resources. As the protests grow, so too has scrutiny of the police response and the political debate surrounding the movement, just months before France’s presidential election.
