France sees largest student protests since 1968 as 480,000 rally for education reform

Around 480,000 demonstrators took to French streets on Tuesday, responding to student organizations demanding better high school conditions since late September. This marks the largest student protest wave since May 1968, signaling sustained domestic unrest and potential political pressure on the government. The scale and persistence of the movement suggest a significant challenge to education policy, though the government's response remains unclear.
