In Aubervilliers, at Lycée Le Corbusier, students are blocking the school, supported by teachers. They are protesting notably against overloaded schedules, overcrowded classes, and heating problems.

In response to this situation, classes are now being held remotely in these closed institutions, according to information reported by Pauline Godart, journalist at France 24.
