Overseas trained teachers

Ranjit made this Official Information request to Teaching Council of Aotearoa New Zealand

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Ranjit to read a recent response and update the status.

From: Ranjit

Dear Teaching Council of Aotearoa New Zealand,

I would like to request the below information under Official Information Act.

- What are the minimum requirements for an applicant to be considered as an overseas trained teacher? The requirements I am specifically looking for are when an applicant's time for induction gets reduced to 1 year.

- Please share the official policy, process that registration officers use to assess if an overseas teacher is required to complete 2 years or 1 year of induction in New Zealand prior to moving to full category one registration.

- If an applicant is not satisfied with council's decision, what is the process to file a complaint/ reassessment?

Yours faithfully,
Ranjit
