In France, the student protests have continued for several days, with hundreds of schools blocked, reports France 24 on Thursday.
Students are protesting against very unequal study conditions, notably the lack of teachers, overcrowded classes, and dilapidated buildings.
Gabriel Lattanzio, an associate professor of English at Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and guest on France 24, analyzes this mobilization by highlighting the disparities between underprivileged high schools and elite institutions, especially in Paris.
