Protests by high-school students in France on Tuesday affected around 1,800 senior schools, RIA Novosti reported. AFP, cited by TASS, reported that classes were suspended in nearly 900 senior schools — about a quarter of the country's lycées. RIA Novosti later reported that lessons in lycées had been suspended because of the protests. Neither the numbers nor the subject of the protests are explained in the documents. [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]
Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu told the National Assembly that lessons in lycées would be suspended at the end of the week to set aside time for discussions with students, RBC reported, citing Le Figaro. RBC did not say when the talks would take place or who would take part, and its account of a suspension planned for the end of the week differs from the suspensions already reported during Tuesday's protests.

Por qué importa
The disruption reached a large share of France's upper-secondary schools in a single day, and the government's answer is to pause lessons later in the week for talks with students rather than let the protests run into the school week. The documents do not state what the students are protesting about or how long the standoff may last.
