For the twenty-fifth year in a row, there are not
tt.ough agriculture education majors graduating from
UNL to fill vocational-agricultural teaching vacancies in
Nebraska, according tp agricultural education instructor
Wayne Oberg.
However, he said he hoped the situation would correct
itself in three to five years.
Though he said he sees no immediate solution, he
hopes that by making high school students and college
freshmen and sophomores more aware of the program,
there will be an increase in voc-ag teachers within five
years at the most
We hope to make people aware of the employment
opportunities available with such a major," he said.
""We're considering some kind of recruitment, possibly.
At the end of five years, I hope well be able to supply all
the schools in the state with the number of voc-ag
teachers they want."
He said none of the other state colleges have an agri
culture education program, so UNL has been the only
school in Nebraska that supplies such teachers.
Presently, Oberg said, only 37 per cent of the WO
TS graduates in the field of agricultural education have
entered the teaching profession, while 29 per cent went
into farming or ranching and 20 per cent went into some
branch of agri-business. He added that salary was very
much a factor in determining whether agriculture educa
tion majors would teach or go into business. First year
voc-ag teachers earn about $11,000, while agri
businessmen often have the opportunity to earn more.
There are 135 voc-ag teachers and about 375 high
schools in Nebraska. There are only a couple of voc-ag
programs left in Omaha and most existing programs are
in smaller communities. 1 know of 10-15 schools that
want to begin voc-ag programs, but can't because of the
lack of qualified teachers available," Ob erg said .
