French students are gearing up for new protests this week. Promised action plans are not enough for them; they are demanding immediate measures for schools in poorer neighborhoods. ‘They have classes amidst rats and cockroaches.’
For Trouw, I wrote a reportage story in Paris. In Dutch NPO Radio 2 programme ‘Daniel & Roelof Zijn Al Op!’ I talked a bit more about what students and teachers want, and why for the French government, there is no quick fix for these issues.
