French school pupils and university students are being urged to take to the streets on Tuesday, Le Monde.fr reports, one day after their representatives held discussions with Sébastien Lecornu. The call to demonstrate follows that meeting, according to the outlet.
The mobilization comes as the planned reform of Parcoursup, France's national higher-education admissions platform, draws growing opposition. Le Figaro reports that the first meeting of the Parcoursup reform committee ended early without progress.
Several student and pupil unions, along with teaching organizations, are boycotting that committee, according to TF1 Info. Midi Libre reports a large-scale boycott by pupils and students at the meeting on the reform, quoting participants as saying they would not enter a room with the officials involved.
