Overview
- The fourth national day of action on Thursday, October 8, saw hundreds of lycées partially or fully closed while students and university groups marched in Paris and other cities.
- Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu spoke from Matignon to call for listening, open an online platform for demands and say first decisions will come by the end of October.
- The Education Ministry reported 375 lycées closed or partly closed on Thursday morning and Education Minister Édouard Geffray pledged a short-term 'plan d'urgence' to speed teacher replacements.
- Security incidents have raised the stakes: Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez suspended use of stun grenades for the lycée movement, the IGPN has been seized of multiple probes and serious injuries—including a 15-year-old whose hand was amputated in Lens—are under investigation.
- Major education unions and student organisations back continued action and have set a national mobilisation for 13 October that could include a teachers' strike and risks broadening the dispute into wider social and political conflict.
