Education and Teaching

Technological and social changes are driving demand for high-quality teachers, educators, and education support roles in New Zealand and internationally.

The opportunity to inspire the minds of children, young people, and communities in Aotearoa New Zealand, and encourage a lifelong love of learning, is available to anyone who chooses to teach, whether at early childhood, primary, or secondary level.

People who are energetic, committed, and creative, who have good literacy and numeracy skills, and who enjoy working with children and young people will find teaching to be a positive and varied career.

The study of Education can lead to many opportunities beyond the classroom. The study of Educational Psychology can lead to opportunities such as educational psychologists, advisers and researchers in curriculum development, and learning and development specialists.
