On November 10, 2026, an inter-union coalition representing students, high schoolers, and education staff organized a strike and protest in Strasbourg. The mobilization follows a general strike held five days prior. Participants are expressing dissatisfaction with government responses to their concerns regarding educational funding and salary policies. Additionally, the organizers have condemned alleged police repression against students and staff. The march is set to begin at 14:00 at Place de la Bourse, following a designated route through the city.
