Corrèze High-Schoolers Take to the Streets Over Parcoursup and Packed Timetables

Event date: Tuesday, October 6, 2026
Address: Tulle, Ussel, Brive-la-Gaillarde · Directions ↗

High-school protests took place peacefully on Tuesday 6 October in Tulle, Ussel and Brive-la-Gaillarde, backed by a joint union front including the CGT, FO and Solidaires. In Tulle, students were able to talk with the head of the departmental education authority, notably about Parcoursup, the post-baccalaureate application platform whose outcomes they consider far too unpredictable. In Brive, marchers mainly criticised increasingly heavy timetables that leave them no time for activities outside school. Portraits of these students will be broadcast from Friday morning in the next edition of "Le Quart d'heure corrézien", available on the station's website and on Deezer, Spotify or YouTube Podcasts; no protest is expected on Wednesday, but the movement could resume on Thursday.
