Our largest education union says the Government's attempt to fix workforce shortages has missed the mark.
Labour has announced up to one thousand new teachers will be recruited, mostly from overseas and more scholarships will be funded for people wanting to become teachers mid-career.
NZEI President Liam Rutherford told Kate Hawkesby things have changed since 30 years ago when funding systems were set up.
He says there are some roles which aren't being filled.
Rutherford says we don't have the right specialist roles like speech language therapists and education psychologists and in the current environment it's kids who are missing out.
