What are the job and PR (permanent residency) opportunities in New Zealand after completing a master's in special education?
Yes, completing a master's in special education in New Zealand can lead to strong job prospects and pathways to permanent residency (PR).
- Job opportunities: Roles like Special Education Advisor and teaching positions are available, often requiring registration with the Teaching Council of Aotearoa New Zealand. A master's degree in special education is valued for these roles. - PR pathways: Special education teachers are listed under Tier 2 of New Zealand’s Green List of in-demand occupations.

These policies and wage requirements are subject to change.
