French student organisations should suspend protests while the education concessions are implemented

Education concessions address overcrowding, campus conditions and student support after weeks of unrest, including €4 billion in school-renovation loans, €1 billion for campuses, inflation-linked grants, 15,000 additional higher-education places and a replacement for the Parcoursup admissions system by 2028. Student and teacher representatives consider the package inadequate; the budget minister estimates its cost at €5 billion, offset by spending cuts elsewhere, an estimate rather than money already disbursed.
