Some 86 per cent of those wanting work got work in Adventist schools this past year, according to figures supplied by Dr Peter Kilgour, head of the School of Education. The figure is even higher (95 per cent) for those who were willing to relocate to get work.
Of all the 86 teaching graduates, 54 (63 per cent) are employed in permanent positions, 20 (23 per cent) in casual or temporary positions and eight (10 per cent) in other education related positions. Four (5 per cent) are completing further study.
