French students are back on the streets, demanding better schools and more funding. Protests over teacher shortages, crumbling classrooms and education spending have swept across the country. Nearly 7,000 people, most of them minors, have been detained, while investigations into alleged police brutality continue.
DW correspondent Lisa Louis reports from Paris on whether the movement is running out of steam, how policing has changed since stun grenades were suspended, and whether France’s debt-strapped government can meet demands for a €10 billion boost to education spending.
