Are French school protesters right to say education is underfunded?

About this episode

French high school students have been on the streets for weeks, blockading schools to demand the government spends more money on education. Their protests have proven the catalyst for a wider movement across Europe, with thousands taking to the streets to protest about issues like the cost of living. Some of the protests have turned violent. But what about the claims about the state of the French education system that started the protests in the first place? We speak to Eric Charbonnier - an expert in the French education system from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) - to find out more.
