Hundreds of schools closed as fiery French student protests spread

What the coverage shows

The coverage converges on student protests spreading across France and on violence or disruption around schools, with CBS and Al Jazeera emphasizing fire and clashes while the BBC stresses the political pressure on the government. CBS is the only outlet that mentions more than 200 people wounded and hundreds of schools closed, and France 24’s extract stands out as unrelated to the school protests group. CBS also revisits the story later with a broader focus on student demands for education improvements.
