TOPSHOT - Protesters take part in a demonstration in solidarity with high-school students following a blockade action near Science Politiques as part of a nationwide protest movement over learning conditions in Paris, on October 7, 2026. Since late September, pupils have barred the entrances to hundreds of schools, complaining of teacher absences, overloaded timetables, dilapidated classrooms and buildings ill-adapted to rising temperatures, among other grievances.
