What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Strikes were reported in Saint-Denis on October 30, 2026. The mobilization involves high schoolers in the Paris suburbs, which began in September 2026, in response to worsening secondary education conditions. These conditions include overcrowded classrooms, absent teachers, and dilapidated premises. Historically, teachers in Saint-Denis and Noisy-le-Sec also went on strike in September 1978 over the lack of teaching positions and classes.
