A student wing is a subsidiary, autonomous, or independently allied front of a larger organization that is formed in order to rally support from students and focus on student specific issues, typically of those attending college or university. Student wings may also be discussion forums for student members and supporters of the organization to debate policy and ideology. In countries which permit political party representation in students' representative councils, student wings of political parties may nominate and campaign for candidates in student elections.

Distinctions

[edit source]

From youth wings

[edit source]

Student wings are distinct from youth wings, as the former is not necessarily established on a young-general basis.

From political factions

[edit source]

Student wings are not normally considered as factions of a political party, as student wings are usually intended as student-focused extensions of party policy and ideology rather than being differently ideologised from the leadership of the party proper.
