Sébastien Lecornu says he is ready to meet with high school representatives again "next week"; 41 high schools blocked on Monday, including several in Paris, Marseille, and Toulouse

On November 2, Sébastien Lecornu expressed readiness to meet student representatives again next week amid ongoing protests. Education Minister Edouard Geffray emphasized the importance of students returning to classes after the Toussaint break, noting that many students have missed weeks of instruction. While some schools faced disruptions, the overall impact was minimal, with only 41 out of 3,700 schools reported blocked. Protests occurred in various cities, including Paris and Marseille, where students organized blockades. The government announced concessions, including plans to replace Parcoursup by 2028 and increase teaching positions, aiming to address student demands and resolve the ongoing crisis.
