France promised 3,000 extra supply teachers after weeks of high-school protests over staffing gaps and lost lessons. Education minister Edouard Geffray said new software would send substitutes to about 500 lycées most in need. About 71,000 people protested on Thursday, with clashes in Paris and elsewhere. Student unions called the offer a first step but said they still want deeper classroom investment before ending action.
