Summary

Students have blockaded dozens of secondary schools across France to maintain pressure on the government over education reforms, as trade unions prepare a nationwide strike later this week. The school protests have fuelled a wider nationwide movement against soaring prices and inadequate public services, which has drawn hundreds of thousands of people onto the streets over the past three weekends. After a two-week autumn break, the blockades resumed on Tuesday on a smaller scale as holidays ended.
