STORYLINE:
Police used tear gas and a water cannon to disperse protesters in the French capital on Tuesday as demonstrations continued against conditions in schools.

France has seen thousands of arrests, hundreds of injuries, and schools set on fire as the new school year descended into nationwide student protests that are influencing France's presidential election campaign and drawing international attention.

It has become the latest challenge to Emmanuel Macron’s presidency in a country beset by crises, both foreign and domestic.

The majority of protesters have been peaceful, but violence on the fringes is having an impact, with a daily menu of fireworks thrown at police and volleys of tear gas fired at high school pupils.

Demonstrations first erupted last month in a high school in Creteil southeast of Paris over a lack of staff.

From there, class strikes, blockades and demonstrations spread to other Paris suburbs and then nationwide, even in smaller towns.

Hundreds of schools had to close because of damage or attacks on staff.

Police made more than 6,600 arrests nationwide as of last week, an unusually high number for a French protest movement.
