The ministers consider that, even if they remain"residual", these blockades cause"harm"to pupils and students.
The minister of Higher Education acknowledges a"real difficulty", particularly for first-year students"who have had a few weeks of classes and who see their classes heavily disrupted".
He nevertheless stresses that"only 28 sites are blocked compared with 67 yesterday at the same time".
"Protesting is legitimate but blocking a high school and preventing one's classmates from entering is illegal,"he asserted.
The young people concerned say they are determined to"give nothing up"in the face of government announcements deemed insufficient. The minister of National Education considers that these blockades are"a problem"because they cause"harm to thousands of young people who ask for only one thing, which is to go to class". The minister of National Education states that"the baccalaureate is a national exam"and assures that"these several weeks lost"are"still recoverable".
He calls on students to"return to the lecture halls".
