Thousands march in Greece over school funding and living costs
Students, teachers and civil servants marched in Athens, Thessaloniki and other cities over staff shortages, poor school infrastructure and the cost of living. Some students camped in the square facing parliament, and participants cited protests in France as inspiration.
Why it matters
The march is part of a wave of youth-led protests across Europe over fuel, housing and education costs.
Background
