Yes, New Zealand offers master's programs in both Primary and Secondary Education that prepare you for teaching roles and provisional teacher registration.

- University of Otago - Master of Teaching and Learning (MTchgLn): 1 year full-time, primary or secondary specializations, includes supervised teaching experience. - Victoria University of Wellington - Master of Teaching and Learning (Primary/Secondary): 10-11 months full-time, focused on the New Zealand curriculum, includes extensive classroom experience. - University of Canterbury - Master of Teaching and Learning: 1 year full-time, primary or secondary, combines advanced pedagogy with supervised placements. - University of Auckland - Master of Teaching (Secondary): 1 year full-time, includes extended practicum placements.

These programs typically lead to eligibility for provisional teacher registration in New Zealand.
