Why are students protesting?
The budget proposal comes after 400 high schools were shut on Friday due to student protests. While the immediate trigger isn't specified, students often protest cuts to public services, educational reforms, or broader economic policies that they believe will negatively impact their future. Their actions can reflect wider societal discontent.
