The Paris police prefecture counted 46,000 participants. The organizers claimed 75,000.
Despite a declining turnout, young people turned out in large numbers for the march. The movement was launched by them in the first place, and they intended to restate their demands.
Among the measures announced are a loan granted to the regions to renovate high schools and the gradual replacement of Parcoursup.
The government's proposals, deemed insufficient by some participants, are not enough to calm the anger.
"I think those in power are waiting for things to calm down, for it to die out little by little, but we came, we are here, we are trying to show that something is happening,"one of these high school students said.
