Student Protest - Paris Videograbs - Students are blocking access to the National School of Physical Chemistry and Biology in Paris (ENCPB – Pierre-Gilles-de-Gennes High School) in the 13th arrondissement of Paris during the student protest in Paris, France, on October 2, 2026. Since late September, students have been organizing protests outside their schools to highlight various issues, ranging from class schedules and class sizes to teacher shortages and excessive heat in classrooms during this year’s heat waves. These protests began in Île-de-France, the Paris region, but have now spread to other cities across the country. Photo by CLPRESS ABACAPRESS.COM Paris France
