En tanto no son trabajadores por cuenta ajena, los estudiantes no tienen reconocido el derecho de huelga. La regulación de las huelgas de estudiantes, que deben conceptualizarse como una forma de participación política no convencional o boicot, se articula en función del nivel educativo y se caracteriza por la dispersión: el derecho de reunión e inasistencia colectiva a clase, regulado en la normativa autonómica; y el paro académico, en la normativa interna de cada universidad. Recientemente, se ha aprobado la Ley Orgánica 2/2023, de 22 de marzo, del Sistema Universitario (LOSU) que reconoce a nivel estatal el derecho del estudiantado al paro académico. En este artículo se reflexiona críticamente sobre el contenido, alcance y efectos del paro académico, cuyo esquema intelectual es idéntico a la huelga, así como de los debates sobre su futuro.
As long as they are not employees, the students do not have their right to strike recognized. The regulation of student strikes should be conceptualized as a form of unconventional political participation or as boycott. It is articulated according to educational level and is characterized by dispersion: right of assembly and collective absence from class in secondary education, studied in the regional regulations; and academic strike in the university environment, analyzed in the internal regulations of each university. Recently, the Organic Law 2/2023, of March 22, of the University System has been approved, which recognizes at the state level the right of the students to academic strike. This article critically reflects on the content, scope and effects of the academic strike, whose intellectual scheme is identical to the strike, as well as the debates about its future.
