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:

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
