Some 400 French schools remained closed on Friday as student protests over teacher shortages and dilapidated buildings escalated into widespread violence, with fires set at multiple high schools and clashes with police reported across the country.
Education Minister Édouard Geffray confirmed late Thursday that “a little over 400 schools and other educational establishments” would be shuttered, with classes shifting online. The protests, which began in the Paris region last month, have since spread nationwide, turning increasingly destructive. On Thursday, students ignited fires in at least two high schools, while teachers in Marseille were splashed with petrol, officials said. A car was torched in Strasbourg, and riot police clashed with youths in Toulouse.
The Interior Ministry reported 1,949 arrests on Thursday alone, with 284 police officers and gendarmes injured, alongside 65 education staff and 170 students. Authorities described the unrest as no longer a legitimate expression of student grievances but a situation of “urban violence,” with incidents including arson, blocked school access, and attacks on public transport.
Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu convened a crisis meeting on Thursday, where intelligence agencies alleged the protests were instigated by hard-left politicians, including members of La France Insoumise (LFI). LFI lawmaker Louis Boyard denied the claim in interviews with French broadcasters. Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin called for a “firm penal response” in a videoconference with prosecutors, as the government sought to contain the escalating disorder.
The protests, initially focused on education conditions, have now disrupted 1,027 educational institutions, with 222 access blockades reported. The government has urged ministers to remain in Paris to support local prefects managing the crisis.
