Franck Leroy, president of the Grand Est region in northeastern France, has estimated that damage to high schools in the area since the start of a recent student-led movement has reached approximately two million euros. This figure includes costs for repairing vandalism, replacing broken equipment, and restoring facilities affected by protests. The movement, which began earlier this year, was initially sparked by concerns over education policy, including changes to the school curriculum and student evaluations. Over time, it evolved into broader protests against government policies, with students and teachers demanding more investment in education and better working conditions. Leroy emphasized that the damage has been widespread across multiple schools in the region, with some institutions requiring extensive repairs. He noted that while the financial toll is significant, the impact on students and staff has also been considerable, disrupting classes and creating a tense atmosphere in many schools. The French government has acknowledged the challenges posed by the protests and has called for dialogue with student representatives. However, no major policy changes have been announced yet, and the situation remains under close watch by local authorities and education officials.
