High school students blockaded schools and marched across France on Thursday, demanding more investment in education despite government pledges. Education minister Édouard Geffray announced an emergency plan to replace absent teachers, while PM Sébastien Lecornu promised a funded response by month's end. Unions called another national day of action next Tuesday. At least 215 teenagers, 89 school staff and 761 police officers have been injured.
