Police fired tear gas and water cannons as demonstrators gathered in Paris to demand more funding and teachers.
The protestors, identified as students, assembled in the French capital to call for increased financial resources for education and a greater number of teaching staff.
Law‑enforcement officers responded with crowd‑control measures, deploying both tear‑gas canisters and water‑cannon jets to disperse the gathering.
Authorities said the use of the devices was intended to restore public order, while the demonstrators continued to press their demands for additional school funding and staffing.
Protests over education financing have been a recurring issue in France, reflecting broader public debate about the resources allocated to the school system.
