周二，法国各地的中学再次掀起抗议浪潮，数十万学生参与了这场迄今为止规模最大的抗议活动。抗议始于9月下旬，最初的示威活动发生在巴黎南部郊区克雷泰伊的圣埃克苏佩里高中。
across France’s high schools roiled the country again on Tuesday, with hundreds of thousands joining the biggest day of the movement so far. Demonstrations began in late September, with the first protest traced back to Saint-Exupéry high school in Créteil, a southern Parisian suburb.
9月17日，圣埃克苏佩里高中的几名教师为抗议师资短缺而举行罢工。数学教师洛朗·贝西埃在接受法国国际广播电台采访时说：“当时我们缺少数学、法语、文学、历史教师以及助教，校医也在病假中。”当晚，学生们便聚集起来加入抗议行列，并计划次日举行示威。他们把几个垃圾桶堆放在校门口，举着标语牌，与教师们一同提出自己的诉求。
A handful of teachers at Saint-Exupéry went on strike September 17 to lament staff shortages. “We were short a maths teacher, a French teacher, a literature professer, a history teacher and an assistant professor. The school nurse was on sick leave,” Laurent Bessiere, a maths teacher, told French radio station France Inter That same evening, students gathered to join the fight and planned a protest for the next morning. Stacking a few bins in front of the school entrance and holding placards, they rose up to make demands alongside their teachers.
一位学生向法国国际广播电台表示：“我们所要求的只是最基本的条件。”
“We’re asking for the bare minimum,” a student told France Inter.
他们的诉求引起了全国其他中学学生的共鸣，这些学校同样面临经费不足和师资匮乏的困境。
Their demands struck a chord with other high schools across the nation, which are suffering from a lack of funding and understaffing.
针对此次抗议，法国总理塞巴斯蒂安·勒科努已指示各部长着手处理学生们的诉求，并要求月底前提交具体方案。不过，鉴于目前围绕2027年预算的激烈争论，要在教育经费上腾出额外资金来落实改革措施实属不易。
In response to the protests, Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu has ordered his ministers to tackle their demands and send in proposals by the end of the month. But finding spare funds to implement educational reforms will be complicated, given heated debates over France’s already strained 2027 budget.
