During protests at high schools across France, 164 individuals were arrested and 27 people injured, including police officers. Students are demonstrating against overcrowded classrooms, teacher shortages, and excessive workload, with blockades reported at 180 schools in regions such as Paris, Marseille, Lille, and Sedan. French Premier Sébastien Lecornu condemned the violence, citing fireworks and vandalism, while Interior Minister described the events as pure violence rather than legitimate demands. Approximately 40 percent of teachers are expected to join a work stoppage on Tuesday following calls by student unions for a national blockade.
