Twenty-four educational institutions in France were set on fire or destroyed during large-scale protests by high school students, said French Minister of National Education Edouard Geffret.
“In France, 24 cases of arson or destruction of educational institutions have been recorded,” Geffre said on France Inter radio.
According to the minister, in total, from 400 to 500 educational institutions in France stopped work due to protests. Geffre noted that on October 5 these educational institutions will also not work. The reason for stopping classes was, among other things, material damage caused by protesters to educational institutions and attacks on staff by protest participants.
“78 employees of the education system were injured - this has never happened before. They were attacked deliberately precisely because they were employees of the education sector,” the minister emphasized.
