The interception and strike of French high school students continued on Friday, October 10.

The protesting students lit a fire in front of the schools and threw stones and sticks at the police who fired tear gas.

🔸 The unrest that began in the suburbs of Paris and Beirut due to overcrowding in classrooms, a lack of teachers and inadequate educational and welfare facilities in schools, gradually spread to all of France.

These interceptions were usually peaceful, but over time their violence also increased.

The French government, while stressing the right of students to express their opinions and express opposition and complain about school conditions, has warned that it will not tolerate violent behavior.

In one case, a group of teenagers chased a police officer and then punched and kicked him.

🔸Edouard Joffre, the French Minister of Education, warned that the movement of high school students "is being held hostage" by violent groups. According to him, at least 65 school employees, including 40 principals, were injured.
