French school protests resume on small scale as students return from break

Student demonstrations at French secondary schools resumed on a modest scale Monday as young people returned to classes following the conclusion of the holiday break.

According to the French Education Ministry, a total of 41 schools were subjected to blockades as students mobilized following the vacation period. The demonstrations represent a continuation of earlier student unrest focused on educational policies and conditions.

Authorities are monitoring the ongoing demonstrations across the country as academic activities resume. The ministry's figures indicate that while protests have returned, the scope remains limited compared to peak periods of unrest.
