student uprising
Scholars challenge authority
A student uprising is a collective protest or rebellion by students against institutional authorities, government policies, or social conditions.
The term suggests more intensity than a demonstration—implying sustained action, confrontation, or attempts to force change: The 1968 student uprisings swept across Europe and the Americas.
Student uprisings often emerge from universities but may spread to broader movements.
