France Expands Higher-Education Places Amid Continuing Student Protests

On 26 October, Reuters reported that the government’s education measures included 15,000 additional higher-education places, inflation-linked student-grant increases and plans to replace the university admissions system by 2028. The measures were announced amid continuing student protests, and no separate price was published for the additional places or the overall package.
