00:04Hundreds of French high schools remained shut on Monday after the French High School Students' Union has called for a
00:11major day of action on Tuesday.
00:13By late morning, around 413 institutions had been or were still subject to actions or disruptions, according to the Ministry
00:23of National Education.
00:25The Ministry, which had reported 564 schools were affected at around midday on Friday last week, said the drop was
00:33due to sustained dialogue with high school students.
00:36Since the start of the movement in early September, 24 schools had been burned or ransacked.
00:42In response to the violence seen in recent days, the government is now hoping to pass a bill to make
00:49those who are responsible for damaging public property pay for repairs themselves, instead of drawing from taxpayer money.
