— On Monday morning there were disruptions in up to 120 schools across the country, including 40 schools completely blockaded by students.
France beleaguered president, Emmanuel Macron, will address the nation later Monday amid widespread protests that over the past four weeks have morphed from a grassroots movement against fuel tax hikes, to disparate demonstrations against his presidency.

On Monday morning, as Macron met trade unions and business leaders ahead of tonight’s much-anticipated national address, French students took further action.

There were disruptions in up to 120 schools across the country — including 40 schools completely blockaded by students — a spokeswoman for the Education Ministry said.

The students were demonstrating against the government’s recent education reforms, including changes to university admissions, which they say will be more selective.

Macron is expected to call for national unity this evening in the wake of “gilets jaunes” — or “yellow vests” — protests that saw 1,709 people held in custody following the most recent weekend of demonstrations.
