近日法国各地的学生抗议活动于周四蔓延至比利时，列日地区的多所学校外也出现了学生自发聚集的抗议活动。
Student protests that have taken place across France in recent days spread to Belgium on Thursday, with students gathering spontaneously outside several schools in the Liege region.
据RTBF电视台报道，这些示威活动扰乱了多所学校的开学秩序。
The demonstrations disrupted the start of classes at a number of schools, according to broadcaster RTBF.
随着当天事态的发展，多个地点的紧张局势加剧，警方称有人向学校投掷鞭炮、鸡蛋和防暴障碍物。
Tensions were reported at several locations as the day progressed, with police saying firecrackers, eggs, apples and crowd-control barriers were thrown outside some schools.
在霍尔-沙托区（Hors-Chateau）的玛丽-特蕾莎学院（Marie-Therese Institute）外，有人放火，据称还有摩托车和防暴障碍物被扔进了火中。
A fire was set outside the Marie-Therese Institute in the Hors-Chateau district, with scooters and crowd-control barriers reportedly thrown into the flames.
圣巴塞勒米学院（College Saint-Barthelemy）的一扇玻璃门也被铁棍砸碎。大量警力被部署在受影响的学校周围。
A glass door at College Saint-Barthelemy was also smashed with an iron bar.
据报道，这些抗议活动是由学生自发发起的，并非教师或工会组织的。
Police were deployed in large numbers around the affected schools.
学生们要求减少班级规模、增加师资配备、更加重视学生和家长的意见、实现教育资源的公平分配，并表示决策应‘建设未来，而非破坏它’。
The protests were reportedly initiated spontaneously by students and were not organized by teachers or trade unions.
在比利时发生的这一抗议活动的同时，法国的中学生也连续多日封锁学校入口并在校门外举行抗议，要求改善学习条件。
The students reportedly called for smaller class sizes and adequate staffing, greater consideration of students’ and parents’ views, equal access to education, and decisions that they say should “build the future, not destroy it.”The movement in Belgium came as French high school students have been blocking access to and staging protests outside their schools for several days, demanding better learning conditions.
