France prepares for nationwide school protests after injuries and arrests

France is bracing for a nationwide day of school protests on Tuesday, called by organizers in support of students demanding more education investment, following a week of demonstrations marked by injuries and mass arrests. The protests have seen hundreds of schools blockaded, at least 190 students injured, and over 5,000 people arrested, including a 15-year-old whose hand was blown off and a 14-year-old struck by a tear gas grenade. The government announced measures, but organizers dismissed them as "nothing concrete." The movement began in September over issues like overcrowded classrooms and teacher shortages, spreading nationwide. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu vowed no concessions to violence, while political figures traded blame, with hard-right leaders accusing the hard left of fueling unrest.
