On Monday, 24 secondary schools in Rennes were closed, with classes conducted remotely. The prefect of Brittany and Ille-et-Vilaine announced the closure, stating that affected schools would begin closing from Monday, October 5, following recent blockages and confrontations between students and law enforcement. Seventeen high schools in Rennes, including Coëtlogon, Bréquigny, Charles Tillon, EREA-Magda-Hollander-Lafon, Jean-Jaurès, Pierre-Mendès-France, Zola, Jean-Macé, Victor and Hélène-Basch, Chateaubriand, Joliot-Curie, Louis-Guilloux, Descartes, De La Salle, Saint-Martin, Jeanne d'Arc, and Saint-Vincent, were affected by the measure. Additionally, high schools Ozanam and Sévigné in Cesson, Beaumont in Redon, Alphonse-Pellé in Dol-de-Bretagne, Jacques-Cartier and Maupertuis in Saint-Malo, and Bel-Air in Tinténiac were also closed. The prefect called on students and responsible actors to disassociate themselves from acts of violence and vandalism, citing numerous episodes of violence, barricades, trash fires, and vandalism. A prefectural decree has been issued to prohibit any gathering in front of high schools. Between 400 and 500 high schools across France were closed on Monday, October 5, as part of a broader measure aimed at addressing a student movement that began at the Saint-Exupéry high school in Créteil (Val-de-Marne) on September 21. The movement was motivated by the absence of a deputy principal, a school nurse, or an AESH (support for students with special needs). Students at the Paul-Éluard high school in Saint-Denis (Seine-Saint-Denis) followed suit, highlighting the lack of resources available at their institution, including the absence of "teachers," "desks," "chairs" in the classrooms, and the lack of "toilet paper and soap." The issue also includes the Documentation and Information Center (CDI), which accommodates "eight people" at the same time, despite the institution having nearly 2,000 students. The student protests have spread across multiple regions, reflecting widespread dissatisfaction with the state of public education in France. In many affected schools, students have been forced to deal with severe understaffing and inadequate infrastructure, which has led to frustration and a sense of neglect. The movement has drawn attention to the challenges faced by students and educators, particularly in underfunded institutions where resources are stretched thin. Authorities have emphasized the need for students to return to a peaceful environment, while also addressing the underlying issues that have led to the unrest. The closures have disrupted the academic schedules of thousands of students, forcing them to rely on remote learning, which has its own set of challenges. Teachers and school administrators are working to adapt to the new circumstances, but many have expressed concerns about the effectiveness of online instruction, especially for students who lack the necessary technology or a suitable learning environment at home. As the situation continues to evolve, the government is under pressure to find a resolution that addresses the students' demands while maintaining the stability of the education system.
