French far-right leader Marine Le Pen has called for an end to free education for foreign children.
In a speech in Paris, the National Front's candidate in the 2017 presidential race next spring said she had nothing against foreigners.
"But I tell them: if you come to our country don't expect to be taken care of, to be looked after, that your children will be educated without charge," she said.
"No more playtime," she added.
Ms Le Pen is widely expected to be one of two candidates to reach the second and final round of the election in May.
