A national day of action in France drew at least tens of thousands of people, with the union saying the turnout may have reached hundreds of thousands. The protesters expressed solidarity with school students as demonstrations that began at the start of the school year continued to grow and become more violent and political, according to the account. The protests concern teacher shortages, inadequate timetables and a lack of materials. Inequality is also a concern, with schools in the banlieues reportedly affected more severely than others. Dutch students studying in France described what they were seeing around them and what fellow students were doing.
