flag New Zealand faces a 710-secondary teacher shortfall in 2026, mainly in maths, science, tech, and te reo Māori, especially in Auckland, Otago, and Northland.

flag New Zealand faces a projected shortfall of 710 secondary school teachers in 2026, with high demand in regions like Auckland, Otago, and Northland, and persistent gaps in maths, science, technology, and te reo Māori. flag While primary school teacher numbers are expected to stabilize and even exceed demand due to declining student enrolments, shortages remain in rural areas and Māori-medium schools. flag The government plans to boost training, expand support for rural and Māori educators, and increase in-classroom placements to address the imbalance, with up to 5,200 new teachers expected by 2028.
