Growing school rolls and teachers doing part-time work
Growing school rolls and teachers doing part-time work, are being seen as the main reasons for a dire shortage of relief teachers
6 September 2018
Only 10 percent of primary school principals who responded to a survey agreed it was easy to find relief teachers this winter.
Auckland Primary Principals' Association president, Helen Varney, says relievers are now becoming part-time workers.
She says that means they're regularly in schools, and the pool is smaller when a day-to-day reliever is needed.
