Damage to schools in France has reached a million euros due to the riot of students

Damage to high schools in the Paris region from protesting pupils has reached one million euros. This was announced by the majority faction in the regional council in a statement on social network X.

Earlier, the head of the Council Valerie Pecresse called the amount of 200 thousand euros, but the damage was larger. These funds will be enough to eliminate the consequences of vandalism in 15 educational institutions of the capital district.

The action has been going on for a week. Students are demanding to reduce the workload, reduce overcrowding and increase the staff of teachers. In some cases, peaceful rallies turned into riots and pogroms.

Pupils blocked entrances to 60 institutions, leading to a mass cancellation of classes. In the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis, demonstrators even set fire to the entrance to one of the lyceums.

According to official data, 32 people were injured during the clashes: 12 children, 12 law enforcement officers and eight teachers. On the eve of similar actions covered about 180 schools across the country. French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said more than 160 rioters had been detained.
