Kiwis offer to teach Zoom classes to short staffed schools

From First Up, 5:31 am on 16 November 2021

New Zealanders from all different areas of expertise are offering online zoom classes for school students whose teachers are in need of extra support as the school vaccine mandate comes into effect. From today, unvaccinated teachers will not be allowed to return to the classrooms and principals can call the police if they do. And that leaves some schools concerned they won't have enough staff to teach classes as children return to school. Now, as Ella Stewart reports, social media has come to the rescue with over 100 Twitter users volunteering to help.
