Summary

Nationwide protests in France over school conditions—including teacher absences, overcrowded classrooms, and inadequate facilities—began in mid-to-late September 2026 and have disrupted hundreds of schools. A 15-year-old student in Lens was injured on October 5, with reports stating he lost a hand; accounts differ on whether he picked up a police grenade or was struck by one, and the cause remains under investigation. Police fired tear gas and riot-control weapons during demonstrations that drew tens of thousands of participants. Authorities reported over 5,000 arrests, mostly minors, and more than 1,000 injuries across police, students, and education staff. The French government and Prime Minister acknowledged students' grievances as legitimate and promised to review proposals by end of October. Human rights groups and unions accused police of using disproportionate force against minors. The government accused hard-left activists of hijacking the movement, though protest leaders denied this characterization and vowed to continue demonstrations until demands were met.
