Why it matters
Widespread student unrest in France poses a significant challenge to the government's domestic policy agenda.
High school protests across France show no sign of slowing down, with nearly 400 educational establishments facing disruptions this morning.
A French high school student confronts people who want to prevent her from building a barricade, outside the Lycee Lamartine high school in Paris.
