Strike And Protests For Public Schooling
Teachers, professors, and students are striking and taking to the streets in Toulouse, France, on February 1, 2024, against the new Minister of National Education, Amelie Oudea-Castera, due to the lack of resources for public schools. The minister is embroiled in scandals, having placed her children in a private Catholic school with gender-separated students, and one of her children bypassed the mandatory 'Parcours Sup' system to gain admission to a school, college, or university. Protesters are calling for her resignation, especially after she authorized public funding for the private Stanislas school, where her children attend. (Photo by Alain Pitton/NurPhoto)
