FRANCE-EDUCATION-STRIKE-ECONOMY-REFORM

People demonstrate against proposed reforms of secondary education on May 19, 2015 in Lyon, eastern France. Teachers in France went on strike to protest against a proposed reform of secondary education that has become a bitter battleground for one of the country's rising political stars. Education Minister Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, 37, has come under fire for the disputed reforms, which concern high schools educating children aged 11 to 15. Among the most disputed elements of the reform is a proposal to reduce the teaching of Latin and Ancient Greek, replacing these languages with a general class on classical culture.
