  "summary": "France's education minister has announced the deployment of 3,000 substitute teachers to struggling high schools. This move comes after nationwide protests by students over the state of schools and absent teachers.\n\nStudents have been protesting since late September, blocking entrances to hundreds of high schools for 15- to 17-year-olds. Their concerns include missing teachers, overloaded timetables, and dilapidated classrooms and buildings.\n\nThe French prime minister has promised to address students' concerns by the end of October. National education unions have also called for a general strike in support of the students. According to Channel News Asia, the prime minister denied allegations of excessive police violence against the students.",
