Parcoursup Anger: Blockade at Henri-Queuille, Quiet in Brive

Event date: Monday, October 12, 2026

Unions had urged high-school students to gather at 7:30 a.m. outside Lycée Cabanis in Brive-la-Gaillarde, but almost no one turned up on Monday morning. In Haute-Corrèze, by contrast, a blockade was set up outside Lycée Henri-Queuille with support from vocational-degree students. The protesters criticise Parcoursup, the national higher-education application platform, which they describe as arbitrary and opaque. Further gatherings could take place across Corrèze on Tuesday.
