"Pressure Mounts on French Education Minister as Strikes and Demonstrations Escalate"

Teachers across France went on strike for better pay and conditions, adding pressure on the embattled education minister, Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, who has faced controversies since her appointment. The strike, planned before the government reshuffle, was fueled by dissatisfaction with the minister's statements and her handling of education issues. The walkout reflects teachers' frustration with the lack of recognition and fundamental issues in the education system, with a significant percentage of teachers participating in the strike.
