Summary

Widespread student protests erupted at French high schools beginning September 28-29, 2026, driven by demands for better resources, smaller class sizes, more teachers, and improved school conditions. The demonstrations, which began in the Paris region and spread to cities including Lille, Lyon, Grenoble, Nice, Nantes, Bordeaux, and Marseille, affected approximately 400 schools nationwide. Protests involved school blockades, fires set in bins and materials, and projectiles thrown at police. Authorities reported more than 440 people, mostly minors, were detained. Injury figures vary across reports: one cites 76 total injuries among students and personnel; another reports 48 law enforcement officers, 10 students, and school staff injured; a third mentions 12 security force members, 8 teaching staff, and a dozen pupils injured. Seven incidents of hydrochloric acid being thrown at law enforcement were reported. The protests coincided with broader public-sector strikes over wages and budget cuts, occurring as the government prepared to present its 2027 budget involving €54 billion in savings. French officials including Education Minister Édouard Geffray and Interior Minister Laurent Nunez condemned the violence while acknowledging legitimate student grievances. Some left-wing politicians supported the students, while Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu criticized the escalation as irresponsible.
