Reading time 1 min

We take a look at what exactly French high school students are demanding in their nationwide blockades. From crumbling buildings, to absent teachers who are not replaced, to applying to university, we take a look at what has created so much anger among French teens. We also draw parallels between this movement and that of the Yellow Vests.
