In October 2026, students gathered in Montreal to demonstrate in support of ongoing French high school protests.
The demonstrators, including Montreal and other Quebec students, called for improved learning conditions, highlighted a decade‑long staffing shortage, and protested rising living costs, unpaid internships, low public‑school funding and high university tuition.
Their action follows weeks of rallies by French high school students over staffing shortages, which have spurred comparable concerns among Quebec students regarding education funding and costs.
