Becoming A Teacher Soon

I was recently accepted to do a teaching course here at Massey and very soon, I will be a qualified teacher here in NZ. As there are shortage of teachers here in NZ, especially in Mathematics, I will undergo a 35 week training course with half of them (18 weeks) being attachment at local schools. I am also lucky is that as a Maths teacher(there is a real shortage), the NZ government is actually paying me NZ$10,000 to study. Not bad , eh. Getting paid to study and in the meantime still working at NZ Post.
