Classes will be “totally or partially” suspended on Monday in “400 to 500” high schools where security conditions “are not met” and 24 schools were “burned or ransacked” on the sidelines of the high school movement which spread last week, the Minister of National Education announced on Sunday. In Île-de-France, this figure rises to more than 160 high schools closed on Monday, or more than a third of establishments, announced the region's LR president, Valérie Pécresse, this Sunday.

In a letter addressed to his ministers, Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu sets out five projects to respond to the difficulties of high school students and staff, with proposals expected before the end of October, after a week of high school blockades marked by tensions and violence.
Sébastien Lecornu called for the resumption of classes “everywhere” where security conditions allow, in the face of the closure of 400 to 500 high schools on Monday due to the high school protest movement. He set a timetable to respond to students' demands, including priority treatment of replacements and a meeting on the renovation of establishments.

YouTuber Squeezie expressed his support for high school and university students mobilized in France to demand more resources in their establishments, welcoming their demands as “more than legitimate” while condemning isolated violence linked to the movement.

The Ministry of the Interior banned demonstrations in front of closed high schools on Friday, after Minister of National Education Édouard Geffray announced the closure of 400 establishments to protect students. According to his count, 235 people have been injured since Monday during the high school mobilization, including 170 students. The police made 1,949 arrests and 84 police officers and gendarmes were injured. An interministerial crisis unit was chaired by Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu, and Defender of Rights François-Noël Buffet opened an investigation after the injury of a minor in Saint-Ouen-l'Aumône.

French high school students and students are planning an “act two” of their mobilization on Thursday to demand more resources in education, after a week of blockages leading to 625 arrests and 83 injuries among law enforcement officers, as well as 119 injuries among students and staff since the start of the movement, according to the Ministry of the Interior and Édouard Geffray.

High school students are demanding replacement teachers and more resources, hoping for an “act two” of their protest on Thursday with the students. On Wednesday, 356 establishments were affected, 625 people arrested and 83 law enforcement officers injured. Since the start, 119 students and staff have been injured. President Macron condemns the violence and targets left-wing leaders, while the IGPN has opened three investigations into injuries linked to LBD shootings.
