SocietyProtest leaders urge French pupils to keep barricading their schools

France’s Les Lycéens student union urged pupils to continue barricading schools and joining street protests until their demands over teacher shortages and dilapidated buildings are met. The government announced class-size limits, a €4bn school-repair loan and changes to university applications, but student representatives said not all demands had been addressed. Mass demonstrations have continued amid arrests, injuries and tighter restrictions.
