Mental Wellbeing/Health in Tertiary Education

I would like to enquire whether there is data on students enrolled in tertiary education, their academic performance and mental wellbeing indicators (depression, anxiety, stress etc.). I would like to have the file in an ideal format to clean and sort in R (eg. CSV)

I would like to analyse the impact of mental wellbeing on students in tertiary education. As COVID-19 has demonstrated, mental health is a serious issue and something that is very important to look into. In particular, students in tertiary education deal with the pressure of academic studies and also societal pressures and understanding more about this will help to look at how policy and university services can help this group of people.

I would like to analyse the data and write an honours' thesis on it.

Ministry of Education

Data does not exist

Kia ora While this request is more closely aligned with the tertiary institutions, we now understand that they also do not hold data on student grades in relation to mental wellbeing. However, our advice on where number of enrolled students is held still stands. The number of enrolled students at tertiary institutions can be found on Education Counts at the following link https://www.educationcounts.govt.nz/statistics/tertiary-participation#:~:text=The%20overall%20number%20of%20students,in%202020%20than%20in%202019.
