Students protest across Italy
Friday against job-placement schemes and against entry exams, as
well as demanding more resources for underfunded state schools
to boost lessons and keep rundown buildings in a better state of
repair.
"We're students, not workers," read banners also proclaiming
"no to free exploitation".
There was tension in Milan after hooded protesters threw eggs
and tomatoes against the windows of a McDonald's at Porta
Ticinese.
Education Minister Valeria Fedeli said she would hold talks
with all the sides involved on December 16, saying "we are
working to raise the quality of placement schemes."
The protests come after a string of demos against contested
school reforms called 'the Good School' passed by the previous
government of Democratic Party leader Matteo Renzi.
