French police used tear gas and water cannons against student protesters, CBC reported on Tuesday, as demonstrations over conditions in the country's schools continued.
The clashes come as the protests enter a third week. Al Jazeera reported that France has suspended high school classes as demonstrators and officers confronted each other. Global News reported that a teenager's hand was blown off during the unrest.
Coverage of the protests has also focused on the state of France's schools. The Guardian examined how run-down French school buildings are and how severe inequality is within the education system, framing those conditions as background to the demonstrations.
The unrest has drawn attention from multiple international outlets, with NPR also reporting that the protests are ongoing. Details on the number of people involved, injuries beyond those reported, or any government response beyond the class suspensions were not available in the source material.
What to watch next: whether the suspended high school classes resume and how French authorities respond as the protests move past the three-week mark.
