Excerpts from the article:

Transportation, fuel supplies and education are taking a hit from the ongoing strikes over a proposal to raise the country's retirement age from 60 to 62 and enact other pension reforms.

The French Ministry of Education said students from 379 high schools are joining in the strikes, skipping school in the process. Some students have blocked schools so others cannot get in. Students are worried they won't be able to get jobs themselves if the current generation of workers hang onto their jobs for another two years, some told CNN's Jim Bittermann in Paris.
