Summary

French student protests over classroom overcrowding, teacher shortages, and education funding began in mid-September 2026 and spread nationwide. The marches drew more than 250,000 people across dozens of cities, with protests disrupting classrooms. Reports describe both peaceful demonstrations and violent incidents including school fires, vandalism, and clashes with riot police that resulted in hundreds of arrests and injuries on both sides. A 15-year-old student in Lens lost his hand and part of his lower arm after picking up a police dispersal grenade during clashes. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu and Paris police condemned the violence and called for peaceful protest, while also acknowledging legitimate grievances about school conditions. The government accused the far-left France Unbowed party of involvement, a claim the party denied. The Interior Ministry reported nearly 500 people detained in one operation, with over 400 schools affected or closed. The protests reflected broader discontent over government spending cuts and inequality under President Emmanuel Macron.
