America
losing
potential
teachers
The nation is turning the
present flood of college-age
persons down the spillway,
when it should be using it for
generators and reservoirs,
according to Terry Herndon,
executive secretary of the
National Education
Association (NEA).
Herndon made his remarks
in releasing information on
teacher education enrollments
which accompanied a study
done recently by the NEA
research services.
The study indicates that, for
the first time in recent years,
the number of college
graduates prepared to teach
will probably drop this year,
starting a trend expected to
continue indefinitely "if trends
toward improved school
staffing continue."
The situation, according to
the study, has resulted from
pj;ii..ity un the difficulty of
caning jobs in teaching and
vvh.it may be, the end of the
historic trend of annual
ii-.c v.- h tha proportion of
,! i. ; ; persons enrolled in
I i't; '. nhmtion.
f p i. :;;mg concern that the
d: i.-.'i i . iilrendy beginning to
i;.: poiyntial resources
..: .iv ihc present wave of
, -. persons, Herndon
is a very little
..v:jr:u' that the nation is
'j:Kir any ..ictions necessary to
u i I i i ?. it this tide of
r .V .::' cheated manpower to
in .!(: si: i he nation's annual
I ho'ji ::,: tcward desirable goals,
01 to effectively employ it now
so that the pool of qualified
manpower will be adequate to
the demands in the 1980s
when the size of the
collerje-agcd population will
decrease each year."
Recent enrollment data for
teacher-preparation programs
indicate that students have
responded to the reality of the
current shortage of jobs for
beginning teachers, the study
said.
Evidence from 67 of the
124 largest teacher-preparation
institution; suggests that the
number of graduates
completing preparation to
enter teaching in 1973 may be
smaller ihan in 1972 by more
than 8,500, according to the
study.
I t says that teacher
education graduates made up
nearly 3G per cent of the total
graduating classes.
