Discuss the role of students in protests in France
What will be an ideal response?
Many French university students participate in student unions that have at
times played leading roles in organizing protests. The influential National Students
Union of France (UNEF), for example, organizes its members to shape central
government policies that affect university students across the country. It has been
active in all major episodes of protests involving young people, mobilizing in 1968 to
oppose restrictive university policies and in 2006 to help overturn the employment law
that weakened protections for first time jobseekers.
