Hundreds of thousands of mostly young people marched across France on Saturday, the third straight weekend of protests. The government put turnout at 320,000.
70,000 police and gendarmes were deployed nationwide.
500,000 marched Oct. 17; 410,000 marched Oct. 24, per government figures.
300 arrests reported by Saturday evening, down from 800 last week.
70,000 marched in Paris on a route moved to the city's edge.
Why it matters: The protests started last month over run-down schools, teacher shortages and a university admissions system. Students call that system unfair to disadvantaged applicants.
Labor unions and other opponents of President Emmanuel Macron have since joined.
Police tactics, including tear gas and water cannons, have caused severe injuries.
