French teachers say government education measures fall short

French teachers on Tuesday deemed government reforms insufficient to quell weeks of protests, despite proposals including capped class sizes and renovation loans. The government announced the measures on Monday, aiming to ease public anger over inadequate staffing and resources in schools, which has broadened to encompass trade unions and concerns about public services and the cost of living. While student leaders acknowledged the concessions as a first step, they plan to continue demonstrations. The turmoil has also seen increased security presence and curfews following recent violence and looting.
