Student unions in France have called for protests to resume and for schools and universities to close on 3 and 5 November, according to Al Jazeera Arabic. The unions say the government's pledges are insufficient, and that this is why they are calling for the movement to resume. It is not yet clear which unions issued the call, or what the government pledges they consider insufficient contain. The government's response to the call has not been reported, and the expected level of participation in the closures is also unclear. The issue that first sparked the protests is not specified in the available information.
