Up to 500 schools across France will be partially or totally closed on Monday after clashes between riot police and student protesters in recent days, the French education minister said on Sunday.
Lessons will be “totally or partly suspended” in some “400 to 500” high schools as security conditions “have not been fulfilled”, Édouard Geffray said.
He also said 24 schools had been “burned or ransacked” since the start of the protests.
