PARIS, Oct 26 — France’s Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu’s office announced that he and the country’s two education ministers would meet student leaders today before speaking to journalists.
Yesterday’s announcement came after another weekend of protests over the state of the country’s high schools and the cost of living, with pressure mounting on the government to deliver promised reforms to the education system.
National Education Minister Edouard Geffray and Higher Education Minister Philippe Baptiste will join Lecornu for talks with student leaders Monday at Matignon, the prime minister’s office in Paris.
Following that meeting, Geffray and Baptiste will hold a news conference on Monday afternoon.
