Protests began in September when students in a suburb of Paris joined their teachers in a strike protesting a lack of staff and resources. Protests then spread to other cities, with protesters citing the poor conditions in their schools and an overall lack of investment. As the protests intensified, many schools were damaged and hundreds closed. Thousands of people were arrested (most of them minors), and some students, teachers, and police were injured.
