school strikes
Classroom boycott actions
School strikes are organized student absences from classes to protest or demand change.
The term gained prominence with climate strikes, where students worldwide skipped school to pressure governments on environmental policy: Thousands joined the Friday school strikes.
Unlike teacher strikes over labor conditions, school strikes position students as political actors, leveraging their absence as leverage.
