SUD éducation, a teachers' union in France, has urged its members to join student protests scheduled for October 6. The union has criticized the government's response to the demonstrations, calling it "repression," and has highlighted incidents of alleged violence against high school students during the mobilizations. The union's main demands include more funding for schools, improved infrastructure, smaller class sizes, and measures to combat discrimination, especially racism and sexism. They also want to end Parcoursup, a digital platform used for university admissions, and revise school schedules that they say have become "inhumane" due to reforms introduced by Education Minister Jean-Michel Blanquer. SUD éducation claims that the government is not addressing the concerns of high school students, who have now joined the movement in several universities. The union is calling on its members to participate in strikes and demonstrations on October 6 and has asked teachers not to offer remote lessons to show solidarity with the students. This move is part of a broader effort to pressure the government to address the issues raised by both students and educators. The protests come amid growing dissatisfaction with the education system, particularly with policies introduced under the Blanquer reform, which have been criticized for increasing the workload of teachers and students. The union argues that these reforms have created an unsustainable environment in schools, leading to calls for systemic change. The mobilization reflects a broader trend of student and staff activism in France, where education has become a central issue in public debate. As the October 6 demonstrations approach, the government faces increasing pressure to engage in dialogue with the unions and students to find a resolution to the ongoing disputes.
