More than 600 people, most of them students, have been detained and dozens of police officers injured amid increasingly violent school protests in France, according to France 24.
The protests began last week, when secondary school students started mobilising against a shortage of teachers, overcrowded classrooms and what they argued were unreasonable timetables.
Escalating unrest
What began as student mobilisation over education conditions has grown more confrontational over the following days, resulting in a rising toll of detentions and police injuries as the demonstrations continued.
France 24's report does not specify the cities most affected or the government's response to the students' demands regarding teacher staffing and classroom conditions.
