French schools continue to face closures into a second week, with between 400 and 500 out of 3,700 high schools expected to remain closed on Monday ahead of planned student protests. These demonstrations stem from concerns about poor conditions in schools, overcrowding, and teacher shortages. Education Minister Edouard Geffray reported that since the protests began last month, at least 24 schools have been damaged or vandalized, resulting in tens of millions of euros in property damage and nearly 5,000 arrests nationwide.

Story summary
French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu warned against escalating school protests after 164 arrests on Monday in demonstrations that began last week around Paris, spreading nationwide. Students are protesting over issues like overcrowded classes and teacher shortages by blocking schools with bins and setting fires, clashing with police who used tear gas in some cities like Lille and Nantes. On Tuesday, over 400 people, mostly minors, were detained, including about 12 injured security forces members and a dozen students and staff. The protests have seen at least 440 detentions and 300 affected schools, with public sector workers also striking in solidarity over budget cuts and working conditions.
