Violent riots have raged across France, as nearly 500 schools are forced to close on Monday over fears that student protests will escalate. On Sunday, Education Minister Edouard Geffray said classes will be “totally or partly” suspended in 400-500 schools across the country. Thousands of students across France have rioted in protest of schooling conditions in several cities since demonstrations began last month. Despite students initially protesting schooling conditions, demonstrations quickly turned into violent riots. In several French cities, rioters torched bins, assaulted innocent bystanders, clashed with police and “burned or ransacked” schools, Geffray revealed.
