Protests by French students, teachers, and parents over school conditions escalated, with police using tear gas against demonstrators.
Police deployed tear gas against demonstrators outside French high schools on Tuesday. Students, teachers, and parents participated in the largest day of protests concerning educational conditions. A policeman faced charges for firing a tear gas grenade at a 14-year-old student, who reportedly lost several teeth. Another incident involved a 15-year-old losing a hand after picking up a grenade.
These demonstrations highlight ongoing concerns about underfunding and teacher shortages within the French education system. The events have drawn solidarity from labor unions and prompted comments from the Prime Minister, who suggested "accidents happen" in relation to the injuries sustained by teenagers.
