Children play under sheets with messages reading 'No to the closure of classes' in Toulouse, France, on March 31, 2026. Primary schoolteachers and Support Assistants for Disabled Pupils (AESH) gather in front of the Board of Education following a nationwide call by FSU, CGT'Education, SNuipp-Fsu, and SUD Education to strike and protest. The National Education Ministry has announced a reduction of 3,500 schoolteachers across France, with 170 classes set to close next year in the Haute-Garonne department. Schoolteachers are also demanding better working conditions and wages. AESH, predominantly women, often live below the poverty line and protest against insufficient funding, precarious job contracts, and staff shortages.
