Monitoring Teacher Supply Publications

Publication Details

This is the home page for the Monitoring Teacher Supply publication series.

Since 1997 the Research Division of the Ministry of Education has undertaken a Teacher Vacancy Survey of all state and state integrated schools at the beginning of each school year to monitor the staffing situation in New Zealand schools. The last survey was undertaken in 2014. This short survey provides the Ministry with a snapshot of the number of entitlement staffing vacancies and re-advertised vacancies in schools at the start of Term 1, and for secondary schools, in what subject areas pressure points are occurring. The survey also collects information about the number of overseas-trained and beginning teachers employed by schools and enables the Ministry of Education to monitor teacher supply and demand.
