I agree @Inder. It should be students in the place of student.

Forbid to and Forbid from, they mean the same thing. But forbid someone to sounds much better. And also the infinite has a more 'imperative ' meaning than 'from+gerund'.

Forbid + object + infinitive with 'to' is used.

Verbs refuse and forbid are followed by infinitive form of verb and deny is followed by from and a gerund.
