France is closing between 400 and 500 high schools partially or totally on Monday following days of clashes between riot police and student protesters. The closures were announced on Sunday by the French education minister in response to ongoing unrest and security concerns.
The demonstrations, which have rocked the nation, are driven by student protests over learning conditions. While some lessons have been suspended, students continue to trickle into certain schools amidst ongoing protests outside their gates, as larger demonstrations are anticipated on Tuesday.
