have more pressure in/from school

Students in Formosa seem to have more pressure in/from school than those in America.

I presume that both in and from fit in the above wording, but I doubt that they convey the same concept. Your advice, please. Thanks.

In this sentence, both have very similar meanings. A subtle difference is that "in" can be read as "during", while "from" doesn't have a time period. "

If someone feels the pressure during school hours, you could say "...pressure in school..."

If someone is always under pressure to do well in school, you could say "...pressure from school..."

Thanks, Vorpar, for your clear reply.

Got it.

Both work here, but:

in: shows the environment in which you feel the pressure
from: shows the source from which you feel the pressure coming
