Students across France have blocked the main entrances to their high schools, demanding the government overhaul an education system they say is failing them. Their demands include more teachers amid a long-running shortage, better infrastructure, and shorter timetables. Most protests have been peaceful, but some have turned violent, and there is growing criticism of the police response after a sting ball blew off the hand of a 15-year-old. The Prime Minister says ministers have been tasked with examining the students’ demands, but those protesting say they want action, not words.
