French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu has asked that school classes resume "everywhere" where security conditions allow, starting Monday, October 5. In a letter sent to several ministers on Sunday, Lecornu outlined a "roadmap with five projects" to address student demands, including requests for decisions to be made before the end of the month. The proposed projects include handling long-term absences and unfilled teaching positions, renovating school facilities, improving school schedules, enhancing transparency in the Parcoursup orientation system, and ensuring visible follow-up on student concerns. These measures aim to respond to the ongoing nationwide protests by students, who have been demanding changes to education policies. Each school academy is expected to prioritize addressing long-term absences and unfilled positions, with an initial assessment due by October 16. A video conference is scheduled for Tuesday, October 6, with regional presidents to identify urgent issues and set a timeline for interventions. The government also plans to improve school conditions, including adapting facilities to extreme heat, with priorities to be defined by the end of October. Improvements to school schedules, such as reducing excessively long days and short lunch breaks, are expected to be proposed after the All Saints' Day holidays. Regarding the Parcoursup system, which helps students choose higher education programs, ministers in charge of National Education and Higher Education are to propose improvements for the 2027 campaign by the end of October. The government also emphasized the importance of giving visible follow-up to student voices, including better representation of vocational high school students in academic and national committees and the creation of a collaborative platform for student input. The government acknowledged that between 400 and 500 high schools would be fully or partially closed on Monday due to safety concerns, representing 10 to 13% of all high schools in France. In Île-de-France, more than a third of high schools would be closed, according to regional president Valérie Pécresse. The student movement, which began in mid-September in the Paris region, has spread nationwide and intensified in recent weeks, marked by tensions and over 5,000 arrests since Monday. Lecornu emphasized that the government is taking steps to address student concerns but would not yield to violence, reaffirming support for students and staff affected by the protests and for injured police officers. The examination of the "breaker-payer" bill, which would hold those responsible for damage accountable, is to be accelerated. The government also mentioned that the 2027 budget includes an additional 1.2 billion euros for the National Education system, with a parliamentary debate to address remaining shortcomings.
