The full story

On November 10, 2026, education workers and students held a protest in Dijon to demand improvements in the national education system. Organised by an inter-union coalition including FSU, UNSA, FO, CGT, Solidaires, and UNEF, the demonstration began with a gathering at the rectorate followed by a march through the city. Participants expressed dissatisfaction with current government measures, citing issues such as low wages, insufficient staffing, and poor study conditions. The movement, which follows previous actions in November, also seeks better recognition for support staff and increased investment in higher education. Authorities reported a low strike participation rate of 0.83% across the academy. A delegation of the protesters was expected to meet with rectorate officials to discuss their grievances.
