France unveils 5 measures to ease student anger after protests

French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu presented five measures to address student discontent following protests, including replacing the Parcoursup admissions system and adding 15,000 university places. The plan also proposes capping classes at 28 students, investing €1 billion in university infrastructure with €4 billion in loans, and linking student scholarships to inflation. These proposals follow two weekends of demonstrations over education access and living costs. Student unions remain firm, presenting their own 10-point list at a Monday meeting with Lecornu. Union leaders demanded concrete commitments, with FAGE president Suzanne Naidam stating students want more than "just a few crumbs."
