AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoFrench Schools Under Fire: France’s education ministry says high school protests disrupted lessons at 413 of 3,700 secondary schools on Monday—down from last week—after “sustained dialogue,” but authorities still warn violence won’t be tolerated. Closures and Demands: Up to 500 schools are set to be totally or partly closed as security conditions “have not been fulfilled,” with students citing teacher shortages, overcrowding, and crumbling buildings. Escalation and Injuries: The unrest has included arson and attacks, including a 15-year-old in Lens losing his hand after a stun grenade exploded while he tried to throw it back at police, and reports of teachers doused with petrol and schools with entrances burned. Government Response: Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu urged ministers to prioritize long-term absences and unfilled posts, and proposed using AI to build timetables, while unions like CGT’s Sophie Binet denounce closures and call for dialogue days. Local Sports Spotlight (Saint-Denis): France hosts Belgium at Stade de France in the Nations League, with De Bruyne suspended for Belgium.
