France faces fresh nationwide school disruptions on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, as an intersyndical coalition of teachers and student groups launches a new wave of strikes and street demonstrations.
A Paris march is scheduled for 2.00 PM, moving from the Panthéon toward Place d’Italie, leparisien.fr reported.
Tuesday’s actions follow widespread unrest across multiple educational facilities. High schools in Seine-Saint-Denis, including establishments in Épinay, Les Lilas, and Le Blanc-Mesnil, experienced mortar fire incidents both inside and near campus buildings on Monday, November 9, 2026.
An eight-year-old CE2 primary pupil and a teacher sustained neck burns when fireworks struck Jules Vallès school in Le Blanc-Mesnil. Police intervened near Lycée Mozart after approximately 200 individuals targeted law enforcement officers with mortar fire, according to local prefecture statements.
Several affected institutions suspended in-person classes following Monday’s violence. The prefecture confirmed the injuries occurred while security forces clashed with groups near the school perimeter.
Government talks regarding reforms to the Parcoursup admissions system collapsed prematurely on Monday after student representatives walked out. Officials had convened roughly 40 education stakeholders, including National Rally deputy Thierry Tesson and the student union UNI, which is classified as far-right.
Union Étudiante spokesperson Éloïse Lefebvre Milon criticized the guest list prior to her departure. We will not serve as a sanitized face for the xenophobic and racist policies carried out by these far-right parliamentarians,
she stated. The Unef student union joined the boycott.
Police entered the Rennes 2 campus late Monday evening to clear occupied buildings at the university president’s request. Around 300 youths remained on site near 9.00 PM, smashing a large glass door of a faculty building to gain re-entry to the grounds.
The balance of power is on our side, we must continue,
said Ryad Rani, president of the Union syndicale lycéenne, following his meeting with Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu.
