France recorded scattered incidents near high schools in Paris, Lyon and Marseille on Friday, despite a ban on demonstrations around roughly 400 school establishments that had been closed amid ongoing unrest, according to a report by Le Monde.
Edouard Geffray, the director-general of school education, said forty school principals have been injured since the movement began. However, Geffray said most of the affected principals told him that the people they encountered during the violent incidents were not their own students.
The report described a live account of blockades at lycées, noting that participants in the protests have said they feel unheard and looked down upon.
France's education minister is set to meet with student and parent associations on Friday to discuss the situation, according to the report.
The unrest comes amid a broader wave of school blockades and protests that has affected numerous establishments across the country in recent weeks.
