A student group in France has announced plans to renew blockades of high schools beginning Monday, following a weekend of widespread protests. Pierre Sourzat, leader of the “Lyceens” organization, said some schools could be blocked as soon as Monday, with a larger scale of action expected from Tuesday when students return from their two-week holiday.

The announcement comes after hundreds of thousands of demonstrators, including both high school and university students, participated in protests across the country for the third consecutive weekend on Saturday. The movement initially arose from concerns about rising living costs but also highlights frustration over declining educational conditions and social inequalities.

Last Monday, the French government unveiled a package of measures intended to address some of the protesters’ demands. These include plans to replace the current university admissions platform and initiatives to provide loans for renovating school facilities. Despite these efforts, student groups such as “Lyceens” have criticized the proposals as insufficient.

Sourzat expressed continued support for students engaged in the school blockades, emphasizing their commitment to the campaign. The renewed wave of disruptions is expected to test the government’s response as the education-related demonstrations show no signs of abating.
