So you have to use "ученица" that is ambiguous too :) "школьница" means "school student", "ученица" is more like "student" itself
учиника is the same as студентка for the purposes of this sentence as there is no context available whereby the type of student can be discerned. Therefore Duo should allow the interchange of these words and grant points accordingly.
please will someone tell me the difference between студент and ученицы Is one a schoolchild and the other a university student ? If so which is which?

Студент - the one in a university (16+), ученик (ученица) - is in a school (between 6-18 y.o.)
In the Еnglish phrase, there is not enough context to understand whether it means ученица or студентка - Both answers should be accepted, especially when the first hint in the list when hovering over the word "student" is ученица.
It'd be "ученица." "Ученика" is the genitive or accusative form of "ученик."
Ученик is male while ученица is female. I love the language construction of Russian as words derive from each other. There are very similar words to my language Kurdish which is in the same with Russian. Жен, which is the root of the word woman, is very similar to the word жизнь and in my language we call woman as Jin which mean "life" at the same time. This means that woman is life. This refers to the fact that a woman is the producer of a new generation. And our freedom motto is "jin jiyan azadi" which means, "woman, world and freedom"
этот would be accompanied by a masculine noun, and since we are referring to 'ученица' (in this case a feminine noun), we use a feminine pronoun - эта.
Permanent change in the answer to translate "student", confusing and frustrating.
ученица was not in the word bank, only ученицы. Ученицы was accepted as a typo, I now see the reason is because it wants us to pick студентка because it has the correct declension whereas ученицы does not.
