If nothing happened, they still have to send a report saying “Nil.”
The report must be submitted online by the 20th of each month.
Officials will discuss this system at a meeting on September 8.
One college principal said his college already has a counsellor for students under stress.
The department will also discuss attendance, complaints, staff payments and university grades.
