Last week, the Greens, NZUSA, Te Mana Ākonga, Tauira Pasifika, and the National Disabled Students' Association released the findings of our People's Inquiry into Student Wellbeing, along with 30 other student associations across Aotearoa. It's grim. Two-thirds of students regularly do not have enough money to buy food, clothing, pay bills, buy groceries, access healthcare, or other basics. They are spending nearly 60 percent of their weekly income on rent—double the accepted affordable housing ballpark of 30 percent. These are the strained learning conditions of the New Zealanders that we so desperately need to become our teachers, our social workers, our health professionals, our researchers, and more.
