51 of 184 higher education institutions disrupted, ministry says

Senegal’s Ministry of Higher Education said Tuesday that 51 of the country’s 184 institutions were disrupted following a call by student organizations, just under one-third. The Student Union, meanwhile, said one university in two was disrupted and more than 50 campuses were blocked. It described the action as a “good warm-up” ahead of a national mobilization planned for Thursday, expected to bring together students, private-sector employees, civil servants and retirees.
