Overcrowded classes, cuts and precarious conditions of the school staff, students’ demonstrations being suppressed, students’ voice not being heard: those are only few of the school-related problems that France and Italy are facing nowadays. The Italian and the French school student unions call for demonstrations on the 12th of March to make school students’ voice heard!

Last year the Italian government cut public grant to schools of more than 8 billion Euros, and now it is carrying out its policy through the so called “reform” of the secondary school, cutting down lessons, employees and reducing the quality of education.
