The protests have been going on for several days, with students drawing attention to a lack of funding in education, a shortage of teachers, and the poor condition of school buildings. Some demonstrations remained peaceful, but in other places they escalated into violence and property damage. teraz.sk ↗
On Thursday, French authorities detained nearly 2,000 people in connection with the protests. Following the violent incidents, the government is trying to calm the situation and is seeking a solution to the ongoing mobilization at schools. aktuality.sk ↗
On Friday, Geffray is set to meet with representatives of school workers' unions, parent associations, student organizations, and elected officials. The minister also called on parents to help protect children who are out on the streets during the protests. Student organizations are primarily demanding the massive hiring of teachers and an urgent plan to renovate school buildings. Further developments will depend on negotiations between the government, school unions, parents, and students. Le Figaro ↗
