> French students have held nationwide protests for a third week, seeking more education funding, improved teaching conditions and additional staff. A government plan to hire 3,000 substitute teachers has not met their demands for another €10 billion in spending. Teachers and unions back the demonstrators, who say protests will continue as budget cuts loom.
