An education strike refers to a collective action taken by students, teachers, or educational staff to protest against certain conditions or policies within the education system. This may include grievances over issues such as funding cuts, poor working conditions, inadequate resources, lack of support for students, or broader social and political issues affecting education. The goal of an education strike is typically to raise awareness about these issues, demand change, or express dissatisfaction with the status quo.
