Close to half a million people took part in student protests across France, according to organizers, who estimated turnout at 450,000 participants nationwide.
The French government reported that 891 schools were affected by the mobilization, indicating the scale of disruption to the education system from the demonstrations and associated strike action.
The protests form part of a broader movement led primarily by high school and university students, who have been demonstrating over conditions in schools, teacher shortages and criticism of the Parcoursup university admissions platform.
The scale of the turnout, as reported by organizers, reflects a significant mobilization effort that has drawn attention both within France and from international media covering the unfolding student movement.
