French Education Budget Strained by Pensions

In France, a lot of money from the education budget is being used to pay for teachers' pensions.

This leaves less money for things like classrooms, teachers, and students.

Because of this, French students are doing worse in tests compared to other countries.

Parents and teachers are upset because they think the government should spend more on education.

The government says they are trying to fix the problem, but it's not easy.

Some people think this issue might help the far-right political parties gain more support.
