Hundreds of French high schools shut as new violence erupts. This violence has led to the closure of some 400 establishments, causing disruptions to the education system in France. The protests, primarily led by final-year high school students, are centered around issues such as excessively long school hours and inadequate conditions. The ongoing protests are likely to have a negative impact on the country's education system and may also affect the economy, particularly if the situation continues to escalate.
