Belgian Students Call for National Strike
From Reuters
BRUSSELS —
Students in Belgium, encouraged by the success of French colleagues in preventing radical changes in education policy, called Monday for a national university strike today to protest education cuts.

Parisian students returned to class last Friday after three weeks of strikes and demonstrations in France’s biggest student revolt since 1968.
