Erica Stanford: Immigration Minister on the new residency rules for overseas primary school teachers

The Government's changing residency rules to allow overseas primary teachers to apply for New Zealand residency. 

Speaking exclusively to Newstalk ZB, the Immigration Minister says from next month, offshore primary teachers will only need a job offer, and don't need to have worked here for two years, to be given residency. 

Erica Stanford told Mike Hosking it follows the Government putting secondary teachers on the same pathway last year, which made a big difference to their numbers.
