UK universities are seeing a surge in mental health concerns among students, with cases of anxiety and burnout up by 30% compared to last year, according to a report by the National Union of Students.
To combat this, top institutions like Oxford, Edinburgh, and Manchester are expanding counseling services and launching peer-led support groups. The initiative is gaining attention in India, Nepal, and Bhutan, where student well-being in higher education is also under scrutiny.
Educational consultants in Dhaka and Kathmandu say these UK reforms could guide mental health models across South Asian university campuses.
