New Zealanders have taken to social media to put out offers of help to teachers coping with heavier workloads left by other teachers choosing not to get the Covid vaccine.
Today, the vaccine mandate came into effect for teachers in New Zealand, as children in Auckland and the Waikato prepare
to return to school this week.
As of today, teachers nationwide will have to have at least their first Pfizer vaccine - or they will not be allowed to enter childcare centres or school grounds from tomorrow.
Worrying about the pressure this will put on vaccinated teachers, Kiwis are offering to volunteer some time having Zoom calls with children to talk them through their areas of expertise.
