Student-led protests spread across Europe, demanding better education funding

Student-led protests are spreading across Europe, with demonstrators demanding better education funding and future prospects, inspired by the French movement. The unrest has led to school occupations, strikes, and clashes with police in several countries. In Italy, students in Turin, Rome, Naples, and Genoa have organized occupations and rallies, chanting "Money for schools, not for war." In France, weeks of protests continue after a 15-year-old boy lost his hand to a police grenade, with the education minister's promise of 3,000 extra teachers deemed insufficient. Belgium has seen teachers and students protest, while Spain faces an indefinite teacher strike. In Albania's Tirana, violent clashes erupted over university conditions and corruption, with protesters calling for systemic change.
