Young New Zealand Asians face significant mental health challenges, as well as high rates of racism and discrimination, a study has found.
The survey found a third of east Asian students, and a third of east Asian and south Asian girls, experienced significant depressive symptoms.
Meanwhile, one in four Asian students reported unfair treatment by a teacher due to their ethnicity, 10 per cent said they were bullied in school because of their ethnicity or religion, and 5 per cent said they had been treated unfairly by a health professional due to their ethnicity.
