Vaughan Couillault: Secondary Principals' Assn says we have to be competitive compared to the likes of Canada and Australia

Secondary principals say we need to be more competitive if we're going to address teacher shortages. The Government has announced $24 million in funding for recruitment initiatives. It's hoped to attract one thousand more teachers into the profession, mostly from overseas. Secondary Principals' Association President Vaughan Couillault told Mike Hosking we have to make sure our onboarding of people from offshore is as good as other countries, or better. He says New Zealand is still a palatable place to raise a family or visit mid-career for a bit of an adventure, but we have to be competitive compared to the likes of Canada and Australia.
