Why French students protest but British students stay quiet
Original: Angry French students take to the streets. British students don’t – and I think I know why
French students have taken to the streets in anger, while British students have not mobilised on a comparable scale. Writing in The Guardian, Kitty Sayers, a master's student in journalism who grew up in France, argues the difference lies in education: French children are taught about the revolutionary roots of their nation and the responsibility of the state towards its citizens, fostering a protest culture she finds missing in Britain.
Why now: Readers are debating the cultural and educational reasons behind France's strong protest tradition compared with Britain's more passive student population.
