Summary

Starting late September 2026, high school students across France launched protests against overcrowded classrooms, teacher shortages, and deteriorating school conditions. The demonstrations, which began in the Île-de-France region and spread nationwide, coincided with broader public-sector strikes over budget cuts. Protests escalated into violence, with students blocking schools, setting fires to rubbish bins, and throwing projectiles at police, who responded with batons and tear gas. Authorities reported over 400 detentions, mostly of minors, and dozens of injuries among protesters, police officers, and school staff. One incident involved attackers dousing a headteacher in petrol. The government held crisis meetings as the unrest became a political flashpoint ahead of the 2027 budget presentation. Education Minister Édouard Geffray condemned the violence and called for democratic channels of protest, while some left-wing politicians expressed support for the students' demands.
