Sevran Students Protest Overcrowded, Sweltering Schools: 'We're Not Asking for Luxury'

Here is what the page “Sevran Students Protest Overcrowded, Sweltering Schools: 'We're Not Asking for Luxury'” contains. Students in Sevran, a low-income Paris suburb, are protesting dire conditions in their high schools, citing overcrowded classrooms, lack of basic furniture, and extreme heat. Mohammed, a 17-year-old student, describes waking at 6am to care for siblings before a multi-leg commute, only to find no chairs or desks and temperatures near 40°C during heatwaves. The protests, driven by desperation to return to class, highlight systemic neglect in France's banlieues, where underfunded schools contrast sharply with wealthier areas.

With the French state yet to respond adequately, students say they have no choice but to continue demonstrating. Their fight underscores a broader crisis of educational inequality that could shape national debates on public investment and social cohesion.
