Police are dispersing student protesters in central London, after a wave of protests against higher tuition fees and university cuts.
Two police officers were injured as police contained demonstrators on Whitehall.
There have been occupations in at least 12 universities, including at Oxford University's Bodleian Library.
School pupils walked out of lessons to join university and college students on local protest marches across the UK.
As darkness fell, fires were started, graffiti sprayed and windows broken in Whitehall by demonstrators who were being contained by police.
Hundreds of remaining protesters are gradually being released by police.
Earlier a police van was attacked and barricades thrown as protesters tried to break through police lines.
There have been 29 arrests and 11 members of the public are believed to have been injured.
The Prime Minister's spokesman said: "People have a right to engage in lawful and peaceful protest, but there is no place for violence or intimidation".
