Last update: 11 hours agoFrance School Crisis: Nearly 400 high schools across France stayed closed after a week of student protests over overcrowding, teacher shortages and run-down buildings escalated into violence. Public Safety: Police arrested about 1,949 people on Thursday; at least 65 education staff were injured, with reports of fires, petrol attacks on a principal and clashes spreading from Paris to cities including Marseille, Strasbourg, Toulouse, Nantes and Lille. Government Response: Education Minister Edouard Geffray said grievances are “legitimate” but violence is not, urging parents to keep students away and shifting some classes online. EU/UK Context: Separate from the unrest, Brussels signalled it wants “actions, not words” from the UK after Andy Burnham floated EU re-entry options, while the Home Office suspended Buckinghamshire New University’s student sponsor licence.
