High school and student movement: Parcoursup, enrollment numbers, baccalaureate... the government provides its first political response, without extinguishing the mobilization

The French government has responded to student protests with a plan addressing their demands, presented by Education Minister Edouard Geffray and Higher Education Minister Philippe Baptiste. This plan includes immediate amendments to the 2027 budget and outlines future projects to tackle issues such as class sizes, school infrastructure, and continuous assessment pressures. The measures aim to address the concerns raised by students during five weeks of demonstrations and blockades, supported by over 100,000 contributions from an online consultation.
