Student protests in France continue...so what do we know about them?

Since late September, students across France have been staging protests against the lack of funding in education, blocking access to many secondary schools.

The movement turned violent in some areas, with hundreds of students, teachers, and police officers injured and thousands of people arrested, including an unknown number of those described as “rioters.”

Protesters complain about deteriorating facilities in the country's secondary schools, which are attended by students between the ages of 15 and 18.
