Overview
- Education Minister Édouard Geffray posted a two-page letter on Friday directly to lycéens two days before schools reopen after the Toussaint break.
- The letter lists the government's measures announced earlier this week, including a progressive replacement of Parcoursup by 2028, 500 new teacher posts, a 28-pupil cap in seconde, a revision of baccalauréat continuous assessment, and 15,000 extra higher-education places.
- Geffray emphasized that more than 100,000 contributions from young people fed a ministry consultation and that exchanges with elected student representatives informed the package.
- Student and lycéen organisations, after six weeks of action, called the measures insufficient and urged protests to continue, including joining a planned gilets jaunes demonstration.
- Watch for the school return and planned demonstrations as the immediate test of whether the announced steps change participation in street actions and how the new teacher hires and class-size limits will affect daily school life.
