Strike And Protests For Public Schooling

A student is selling a newspaper titled 'National Education: behind uniforms, counterreforms' in Toulouse, France, on February 1, 2024, as the Minister of Education pushes for mandatory school uniforms. Teachers, professors, and students are on strike and are taking to the streets against the new Minister of National Education, Amelie Oudea-Castera, and the lack of resources for public schools. The minister is embroiled in scandals, having placed her children in a private Catholic school where students are separated by gender, and one of her children bypassed the mandatory 'Parcours Sup' to be admitted into a school, college, or university. Protesters are calling for her resignation as Amelie Oudea-Castera has also authorized funding for the private Stanislas school, where her children attend, with public money.
