Hiring back of unvaccinated staff in the education sector
Erika Whittome made this Official Information request to Ministry of Education
The request was successful.
From: Erika Whittome
Dear Ministry of Education,
I refer you to https://fyi.org.nz/request/19702-total-n...
which says that 447 teachers left their teaching positions with an exit reason coded by the school as ‘covid’.
As we all know, many teachers' employments were terminated under the vaccination orders and these orders were repealed Sept 2022.
1. How many of these 447 teachers have you hired back to teaching positions?
2. Please would you share the number of open teaching vacancies as of 16Nov 2021 and as of today.
Yours faithfully,
Erika Whittome
