French students are taking to the streets for a fourth consecutive week of protests over poor school conditions, including teacher shortages, overcrowded classrooms and deteriorating facilities.

Swedish activist Greta Thunberg joined a demonstration near Paris, while around 200 schools were reported closed amid the mobilisation. FRANCE 24's Clovis Casali has the latest from the ground.
