SocietyStudents in Paris suburbs protest inequality in French schools

Students from low-income Paris suburbs are leading protests for fairer school funding, improved conditions and equal opportunities in France’s education system. The movement has grown through social media, with students pointing to disparities between disadvantaged communities and prestigious institutions such as Sorbonne University. Sorbonne student Soumaya Sarre, from Bondy, says the protests reflect deep injustice and systemic inequality.
