France pledges new university admissions for students to quell anger after violent mass protests
PARIS (AP) — France’s government pledged on Monday to replace its national online university admissions platform in 2028, seeking to quell student anger after weeksRead More France's government has pledged to replace its national online university admissions platform, Parcoursup, in 2028, in an effort to reduce student anger following mass protests over education and living costs. Higher Education Minister Philippe Baptiste announced significant change to the platform for 2027, before its replacement the following year. The announcement follows France's worst unrest in years on Oct. 17, when demonstrations over school funding and rising living costs descended into rioting and looting across the country. Two high school student groups welcomed some concessions but called for continued protests. French President Emmanuel Macron promised measures to address students' demands, particularly in poorer communities. The protests have led to mass arrests and scrutiny of police riot-control weapons blamed for life-changing injuries suffered by teenagers.
