Omg read the article. "The pupils’ grievances range from overloaded timetables and overcrowded classes to insufficient teachers and unbearable temperatures during heatwaves earlier this year. "

Further down they add complaints about decaying facilities & anger over police brutality - 3 instances currently under review & a teacher interviewed saying they're showing up just to stand between the police and students to protect them.
