Since late September, students across France have staged widespread protests and high school blockades over education underfunding, staff shortages, and facility issues. While the grievances mirror common European educational challenges and OECD data shows France spends more per upper-secondary student than the EU average, the scale and violence of the current movement stem from a deep-rooted French political tradition of street protest and leveraging unrest against elected officials. However, with Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu politically and financially hamstrung by a high public deficit and a gridlocked assembly, the government currently lacks the resources to meet protesters' financial demands.
