The school, located in La Courneuve (Seine-Saint-Denis), has been mobilized since September 23. About fifteen teachers, out of a staff of 80, made the trip to support the students.
Like the high school students, the teachers are calling for an investment plan for school buildings, the recruitment of educational staff and the creation of places in higher education.
The Ministry of National Education, however, reports limited participation: 1.55% of staff went on strike on Tuesday, according to a count finalized at midday.
The Paris march thus brings together schools from the suburbs and the capital, teachers and high school students, around the same demands concerning buildings, staffing levels and access to higher education.
The police prefecture maintains its estimate: nearly 6,000 people in the Paris procession, while union and high school student organizations are calling for continued pressure on the government.
