Previously categorised under the Work to Residence pathway, secondary school teachers are now eligible for the Straight to Residence pathway on the Green List of in-demand occupations.<\/p><h4>\u00a0<\/h4><h4><span style=\"color: #ed7d31;\"><strong>What it means<\/strong><\/span><\/h4><p>This change signifies a recognition of the critical role secondary school teachers play in the New Zealand education system and aims to address current teacher shortages.
