I am concerned because the initial part of college life is important so that students get off on the right footing. I am also concerned about connectivity in the context of the provision of some of the mental health services. Students are telling me that they do not have a safe place where they can engage online or that connectivity is so poor that they cannot have a quality exchange and conversation with those who are there to provide them with mental health services. It is a real issue that needs to be solved.
I am somewhat reassured by what the Minister has said but what is the first point of call for a student who has no Internet connectivity?
