Protest leaders urge French pupils to keep barricading their schools

French schoolchildren have been barricading their schools and participating in street protests due to concerns over teacher shortages and building repairs. This action is a response to the government's announcement of a package of education measures aimed at addressing the crisis. The student union, Les Lycéens, is urging continued mobilisation to meet their maximum demands, indicating that they are not yet satisfied with the government's proposals.
