An offer by the French Government to students has fallen short of demands as mass protests continue.
More than 1300 people have been arrested over the weekend as hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets.
Police have fired tear gas and water cannons to disperse protesters in a number of cities including Paris, while barricades were set alight in Marseille.
Europe Correspondent Catherine Field told Mike Hosking student leaders met with the Prime Minister today.
She says they were offered concessions including classroom sizes and more vocational training, which wasn't seen as good enough.
