00:01Around 30 demonstrations by secondary school and university students are planned for Tuesday in France.
00:08These young protesters are calling for more staff and funding for the national education system.
00:13They are criticizing overcrowded classrooms, the failure to replace teachers and the dilapidated state of school buildings.
00:21There is a sense of anger, but the priority for these secondary school pupils is nonetheless to hold peaceful rallies.
00:30We need to really differentiate the teachers of the students.
00:33I'm not going to say that there are teachers of the students, but we need to differentiate them.
00:39In any case, I know that we are mobilizing, like 99% of the students in France are a pacific
00:47mobilization.
00:47They really want to make us hear, be serious, and not just show us how they are.
00:54These protests are taking place against a backdrop of tension.
00:58The minister for education, Edouard Giffray, has stated that since the start of the protests, 85 members of teaching staff
01:06have been injured, as have 215 pupils and 715 members of the police force.
01:13I'm here in the heart of Paris, where, as you can see behind me, policemen and teaching staff are attempting
01:19to clean up a fire which was started when bins were set alight outside this school in central Paris.
01:25We've seen these kinds of scenes regularly over the past weeks as part of the student-led school strikes which
01:33are going on across the country.
01:35Later today, we are expecting major protests to take place in the capital and across the country, where unions, trade
01:42unions, will march alongside students to demand better conditions and for the list of requirements that they've set out to
01:50the government to be met.
