Foreign Teachers Beware!

The New Zealand government is desperately looking for teachers overseas to fill up the vacant posts at schools in the country. Education Minister Chris Hipkins announced a NZ$ 10.5 million funding boost to address a shortfall of 850 teachers next year. Overseas recruitment is necessary as a bandaid solution. We wonder if these teachers are told that they will lose the value of their overseas pensions if they choose to stay in New Zealand until retirement.

On top of that you might want to watch this TV story which was aired on TVNZ's "Sunday" programme. For a start, best you don't apply for a job or accept a job offer in Dannevirke if you are not a New Zealander:
