High school students across France are continuing their nationwide demonstrations against teacher shortages, overcrowded classrooms, and deteriorating school conditions. While the Ministry of Education reported a decrease in overall disruptions with the vast majority of schools remaining open, tensions have severely escalated on the streets of the capital. Riot police deployed tear gas to disperse street blockades in Paris, where protesting students barricaded school entrances with garbage containers, drawing both strong support and frustration from local residents.
