Teaching Vacancies in New Zealand

As unemployment rises, the number of teaching vacancies in New Zealand is falling.

Despite the lower number of vacancies, there are still plenty of jobs available in hard to fill subjects such as mathematics.

The number of vacancies in mathematics and statistics has fallen to 10.2 percent, down from 16.8 percent last year.

The number of vacancies in technology is now 14.4 percent, down from 17.4 percent.

All school principals are surveyed on their teacher supply every year on the first day of the school year. The response rate is always high with 95 percent of schools responding this year.

Lynne Whitney, Senior Manager Research at the Ministry of Education, said most New Zealand schools started off the year with 99 percent of their positions filled – a slightly higher number than last year.

Numbers of vacancies in secondary schools sat at 148.9 at the beginning of the school year (a slight drop on last year), while vacancies in primary schools stayed the same as the previous year at 180.7.

The number of vacancies that have had to be re-advertised has remained largely the same. There were 140.8 positions re-advertised.
