This article from The Guardian is a very worrying opinion piece on the potential for mental health problems being faced by students being sent back to universities with limited support during the pandemic.
“It feels as though we’re paying to be in prison,” says an 18-year-old from her room in university halls. The first week has seen nothing organised for the young people arriving at her university. She has met no member of staff other than security guards; she has been introduced to no seasoned students in other years, who could show her the ropes and help her get her feet on the ground. And worst of all, she has been given no information or advice about who she could turn to for help.
It is becoming alarmingly repetitive how many institutions in all sectors are repeatedly failing to show any signs of leadership, organisation or even competence despite SEVEN months of a pandemic which dominates every area of life.
