French Education Minister Édouard Geffray announced Thursday that approximately 400 schools will be closed Friday as a wave of high school student protests continues to intensify across the country, according to Le Monde.
Geffray also announced the reversal of a budget measure that would have introduced enrollment fees for non-scholarship students in preparatory classes and BTS (Brevet de Technicien Supérieur) programs, the report said.
Meetings Planned With Stakeholders
The minister said he would meet Friday with high school student associations, parent associations, representative staff unions, and elected members of the National Council on High School Life, according to Le Monde's live coverage.
The report did not specify which regions or specific schools would be affected by Friday's closures, nor did it detail the exact scale of disruption the protests have caused so far.
Protests Gaining Momentum
The student mobilization, which had grown in scale as of Thursday according to the report, is centered on demands for additional resources and improved conditions at schools nationwide. Le Monde's live blog did not elaborate on the specific grievances cited by the protesting students beyond resource shortages.
Further details on the government's broader response to the movement, including any additional policy concessions under consideration, were not included in the available source material.
