North Carolina Faces Growing Problem Of Attracting Teachers Special To The Post North Carolina haa a growing problem of attracting teachers, and the problem is particularly acute in attracting black teachers, the presi dent of the North Carolina Associa tion of Educators said. *- "Black youngsters, like their white counterparts, have discovered that there is more money and more opportunity in business and indus try, and they are apparently voting W to a career In teachfe*," Gladys Graves, president of NCAE, said in a press conference. She said NCAE feats that the same things which are driving white youngsters not to entertain thoughts of a career in teaching are affect ing the black youngsters and that the same countermeasures to solve the problem must be taken. "We heed to continue to improve salaries and fringe benefits for teachers, but we need to also address the working conditions of teachers which contribute to the decline in interest in teaching " Mrs. Graves said the NCAE did a study earlier last year in which teachers identified too much paperwork, too many non-teaching duties, and a lack of commitment among students as the three most significant barriers to educational excellence in North Carolina.. Run ning through the study, she said, was the feeling that teachers are not treated as professionals and are prevented from progressing In their careers as they hope to do. Mrs. Graves said NCAE’s Re search Department undertook the study at black teacher supply “because we had heard from I - • superintendents and principals that it was becoming increasingly hard to find black teachers and because we were being told by coBeg* professors that black students ma joring in education were increas ingly in demand by school system recruiters from other states. She said the NCAE Representative Assembly asked for a study. "We learned enough in this study that we are shocked at what ap parently are the trends in North Carolina," said Mrs. Graves. Among the findings of the study were tne following: j. ;■. -North Carolina Certified 408 new black teachers last year, 9.3 percent of all new teachers certified. That percentage is down more than six percent over the number of blacks certified in 1975 when 1,542 black teachers were certified. -The number of undergraduate degrees conferred by traditionally black colleges in North Carolina has declined dramatically. North Carolina Central University grad uated 131 teachers in 1979, only 45 in 1985. -The percentage of blades award ed teacher scholarship loans by the State of North Carolina was only six percent of the total loans approved by 1985, and the previous two years saw loan rates at the 3.3 percent and 3.4 percent level. ’ f‘4 -A Urge percentage of the bUck graduate who obtain full teacher certification at bUck colleges either do not obtain jobs in North Carolina or choose to teach somewhere else. Only 23 percent of Shaw University’s I960 class was teaching in 1964.
