France education strike and student protests set for November 10

A nationwide strike in France's education sector and student protests are scheduled for Tuesday, November 10, 2026, with demonstrations planned in Paris and across the country to pressure the government in ongoing negotiations. Fifteen organizations, including major teachers' unions and student groups, have called for the action. The strike follows a large mobilization on November 5 and comes after a key government meeting on salaries scheduled for Monday, with unions threatening a broader movement if demands are not met. Protesters are demanding salary increases, more teaching positions, and increased university funding. The planned Paris march route from Bastille to Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital has not yet been approved by police, and no major transport strikes are currently planned.
