Who must register?Teachers who complete a programme of teacher education must apply for registration with the NZ Teachers Council if they wish to be employed as a teacher in a state or private school/kura or a kindergarten, or in the position of 'person responsible' in an early childhood centre. The term registered teacher is protected by law. It is illegal for a person without registration to use these words to indicate that he or she is a registered teacher. It is also illegal to falsely represent a document to be a current practising certificate or to continue to be employed as a teacher without a practising certificate. Teachers who previously had primary teaching certification or secondary teacher classification are not registered unless they make application to the NZ Teachers Council. |
