French students and teachers call new strike for Tuesday
Student and teacher groups in France have called for a strike on Tuesday as they keep up pressure on the government for more education spending, continuing weeks of school closures and protests.
A joint statement Saturday by unions covering the teacher and student associations said their movement “is in a position of strength (and) the government in a position of weakness and starting to yield”.
They said “it is the moment to broaden the mobilisation by keeping the government under pressure.”
