French high schools closed in biggest day of student protests in decades

Nationwide student-led protests in France have culminated in the largest day of demonstrations in decades, resulting in the closure of nearly 2,000 high schools. The demonstrations, which involve students alongside parents and teachers, mark the continuation of unrest that has persisted for a third consecutive week.

The demonstrations were organized in response to poor conditions within French educational institutions. Participants state that their schools are falling apart, driving the widespread walkouts and protests that have disrupted the nation's education system.
