In the recent news from Nzherald said that most schools in New Zealand are now in need of Teachers to fill up vacancy like technology and physic teachers.
The report said that the greatest demand earlier this year was for English Teachers and now followed by technology and maths.
What is the main reason why jobs weren't filled? The report said that about three-quarters of job advertisement were applied by the same person, others received no replies.
Now the Government had introduced its new policy for overseas teachers to be quickly recognised and trained in UK.
According to Wellington, Rongotai College Principal Graeme Jarret said, "I didn't have anyone I could offer the job to. If [the Government] says there's no shortage, how come we hardly get any applicants?"
Jarrett said he had one word to solve the problem - money. "Because of the rate of pay, the very top young people are not going into teaching."
Indeed, the Government must make necessary actions to supply the shortages of Teachers in New Zealand. They needed to make teaching "more attractive for graduates" by making it a more valued profession.
