France pledges more teachers after school students vow no let-up

The French government has pledged to provide more teachers in response to ongoing protests and demonstrations by high school students across the country. The student movement has vowed to maintain pressure and show no let-up in their actions.

Students are protesting against several systemic issues within the education system. Their complaints include a lack of substitute teachers resulting in frequent absences, overloaded timetables, and dilapidated school buildings and classrooms that are poorly equipped to cope with rising temperatures.
