A protest campaign that began among French students more than a month ago now involves labor unions, Yellow Vests and civil society, France 24 reported Saturday.

The complaints include conditions at high schools and teacher shortages. France 24 also cited the pace of the school day and disparities between private and public education as student concerns.

The broadcaster described the movement as a broader mobilization involving groups beyond the students who began the protests.
