French Student Union Urges Pupils to Keep Barricading Schools Until Demands Met on Teacher Shortages and Repairs

French student activists are calling for continued school blockades and street protests despite the government's new education measures, according to Pierre Sourzat of the union Les Lycéens, who spoke to France Info on Monday. Sourzat said the movement remains in a 'power struggle' and must push for its 'maximum' demands, which include addressing teacher shortages and building repairs. The union's stance signals that the crisis in French schools is far from resolved, even as the government attempts to negotiate. With pupils encouraged to maintain barricades, the pressure on authorities is likely to intensify in the coming days.
