French students reject govt offer

PARIS:

French student leaders said the government had offered a package of education proposals on Monday in response to weeks of street protests, but vowed to keep demonstrating as the measures had fallen short of their demands.

Emerging from a meeting with government officials, the students said the proposals included capping the size of some classes, loans for renovating schools and the replacement of a university admissions system they saw as unfair.

"Not all our demands were met. We'll go on for as long as it takes," Louis Letoublon, one of the representatives of high school students, said.

There was no immediate confirmation of the education proposals from the government. A press conference to announce the details was delayed.

There were no immediate details on how much

funding any such education package would
