Country Teaching Program
The Country Teaching Program offers you opportunities for advancement and leadership roles and to fast-track your permanent employment status.
Approximately 120 rural
schools are part of the program. Many of these schools are in small, and sometimes challenging communities.
If you participate in the program, you will receive:
- immediate permanent employment status subject to two years continuous service in rural schools depending on the location
- double transfer points after two years in rural schools which means you can accumulate more points to help you get into a school you want in the future depending on the location
- financial incentives
of between $5,000 and $12,500 a year depending on the location.
