What does the reliever shortage mean for you as a teacher, and the tamariki you teach?

As a Head Teacher I am constantly juggling staffing our kindergarten and this has been made worse by going full year when there are not enough relievers in the first place.

What will it take to fix the reliever shortage?

Taking the cap off their pay and ensuring they are as valued as other staff members.

When we fix the reliever shortage, what impact will that change have on you as a teacher, and the tamariki you teach?

I might be able to take leave and not worry about the stress that is putting on others.
