Some 200,000 teachers, students, and parents held demonstrations in France March 16 to protest cutbacks in education. Schools were closed throughout the country, some of them being occupied by angry parents. The media reported 800,000 teachers and public school employees went on strike the same day. Another national strike is planned for March 24.
