Disruption in educational institutions

Approximately 35% of institutions under the Ministry of Higher Education were disrupted on Tuesday, October 13, as part of the new national mobilization day for high school students and university students, according to the ministry.

Union étudiante reports higher disruption

The Union étudiante organization, however, states that 90% of the approximately 70 French universities are "blocked" or "closed," suggesting a much broader impact than what the government has acknowledged.

National mobilization day context

The national mobilization day is part of a broader student movement aimed at addressing various concerns, including education policy and social issues, and has seen widespread participation across France.
