school strike
Pupils refuse attendance
A school strike is a form of protest in which students refuse to attend classes to draw attention to a cause.
The term gained prominence with climate activism, particularly Greta Thunberg's Fridays for Future movement: Students held a school strike demanding action on climate change.
Unlike teacher strikes over labor disputes, school strikes are student-led political actions.
