French schoolchildren continue protests across the country, media write

French high school students and students demanding improved learning conditions are not stopping their protest movement across the country, the Parisien newspaper reports.

“There are currently several blockades or attempts at them in the capital,” the newspaper writes.

In Paris, blockade attempts affected several educational institutions, including the Paris Catholic Institute and the historic Sorbonne building.

The work of the campus of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Paris-Cité and the Lycée Hélène-Boucher was also disrupted.

During the protests in Merignac, police fired tear gas and demonstrators used pyrotechnics and lit fires on the road.

Participants in the movement call on students not to stop protesting and to join the mass demonstration on October 13.
