The strike action against the French pension reform is expected to be very well attended in the education sector. According to the main teachers' union, the Snuipp-FSU, 70% of primary school teachers will be on strike and many schools will be completely closed, "at least a third" in Paris. "Yes, it's a logistic," admitted a parent who had come to collect her child from a Parisian school that will be closed on Thursday. "But politically, sociologically, socially, it's normal to go on strike," she added. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
