University Reform

7 Reforming Education terms

This glossary lists several words of vocabulary about protestations concerning education reforms. It talks about students who protest against governmental reforms on the cost of university education. It aims to help me to learn more vocabulary and to better understand in French the words, verbs and expressions from English. My teacher of improvement lessons asks the class to create this type of glossary and to add new words of vocabulary each week.
