At least 19,000 school students and teachers have demonstrated on the streets of Paris against a proposed reform of the French education system. They marched against job cuts in secondary schools. The government plans to cut some 11,200 education jobs this year, including 8,500 teaching posts. The protest, which began on Thursday afternoon, is the students' second this week and the fifth in two weeks. Thursday's protest is thought to be the largest so far.
