In France, high school students are protesting against deteriorating conditions in universities, including staff shortages, the presence of rats in corridors, and a university admission system perceived as a lottery, according to France 24.
In response to these issues, they have formulated a list of demands to improve the situation. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu has promised a government response by the end of October.
However, it remains uncertain whether this response will be sufficient to calm the protests shaking the country.
