> French students are protesting nationwide for a third week, calling for more education funding, better teaching conditions and additional staff. The government’s plan to hire 3,000 substitute teachers has not satisfied them; they want another €10 billion for education. Teachers and unions back the demonstrators, who say the mobilisation will continue as the government prepares budget cuts.
