Hundreds of high schools across France are slated to close partially or totally on Monday following days of student protests that have turned into clashes with riot police. The French education minister confirmed that lessons will be suspended in approximately 400 to 500 schools as security conditions dictate the closures.
The demonstrations were sparked by high school student grievances regarding their education conditions. Protesters cite ruined studies driven by high teacher absence rates and dilapidated facilities as the primary catalysts for the unrest.
