Approximately one in 17 secondary school teachers
and one in 20 primary school teachers in
Australia are British-born. According to teacher
recruitment agencies, demand for Modern Foreign
Language, Mathematics and Science teachers is
particularly high.However, restrictions on
Australian skilled immigration visas are making
it difficult for employers to recruit UK
teachers. Daniel Mundy, the founder and managing
director of Anzuk an education recruitment
agency that finds work for many British-born
teachers said "Generally, UK teachers are
arriving on Australian skilled immigration visas
to provide relief teaching or take up other
short-term contracts. "Many are filling
vacancies in remote locations where there's a
real shortage of teachers. The majority would
like to remain in the country longer, but they
face restrictions when it comes to Australian
skilled immigration visas," he added.
