COVID-19 Pulse Survey August 2020

Thanks for taking time to fill in this survey.

The impact of the response to COVID-19 is still being felt across the tertiary education sector.

We are repeating a question on stress as this provides time series data going back to the first State of the Sector Survey commissioned by TEU in 2014. In this short survey we are also seeking information on the impact of COVID-19 on staffing levels and security of work.

As with the previous survey, results will be shared with Vice-chancellors and Chief Executives across the sector, and with the Tertiary Education Commission and Ministry of Education to help in decision-making processes around the ongoing response to COVID-19.

All responses will be aggregated to ensure anonymity. Participants can request a summary of the results at the end of this survey.

Please feel free to share the link with others in your workplace; we are keen to hear from anyone working in the tertiary education sector.
