French school protests spread as fires, blockades deepen unrest

What the coverage shows

All four outlets present the story as a widening student protest with school blockades, fires and clashes, and all but the BBC explicitly mention university students joining in. France 24 focuses most on detentions and police wounds, with both of its headlines foregrounding arrests and escalation; the South China Morning Post uniquely adds that more than 160 schools were shut and cites overcrowding, teacher shortages and crumbling facilities. BBC and CNN are broader and less specific in their extracts, though BBC alone mentions a government crisis meeting.
