Teach First
NZ Agreement Reached
The New Zealand Post Primary
Teachers' Association, the Ministry of Education, the
University of Auckland and Teach First New Zealand Trust
have reached an agreement on future employment processes
involving the Teach First NZ programme.
All parties agree it is important that there are appropriate appointment processes in our schools. To ensure that the appointment process is robust Teach First NZ has agreed that Teach First NZ participants will now apply and be considered for jobs in schools alongside other teachers.
This decision will not have any effect on existing Teach First NZ participants and schools that employ them.
All parties are pleased to have reached agreement on this issue. This resolves all current concerns between the Ministry of Education and PPTA over the Teach First NZ programme.
