I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'formal admissions' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'of swearing in school' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found within the answer.
'in' is found in the answer.
'school' could be 's' and 's' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
