Instructional Personnel
The percentage of part-Hawaiians
and full-Hawaiians qualified to be
considered for instructional positions
(teachers, librarians, etc.) has been
declining since 1977. As a result, it
is not surprising that the percentage
actually hired has also declined. In
1977, the proportion of full- and
part-Hawaiians in the qualified labor
pool was 5 percent; that proportion
was 3.7 percent in 1980. The
proportion of full- and part-Hawaiians
hired was 6.6 percent in 1977 and 4.7
percent in 1980.
Despite the decline in the
qualified labor pool, the percentage
of full- and part-Hawaiians in the
teacher workforce remained the same
from 1977 to 1980—0.3 and 6.7
percent, respectively. (See Table
47.) The proportion of full- and
part-Hawaiians employed as teachers in
1980 (4.7 percent) exceeded their proportion
in the qualified labor pool
(3.7 percent).
University of Hawaii
The Commission obtained figures
from the Vice President's office at
the University of Hawaii on native
Hawaiians in the University system.
43/ Student enrollment in the entire
University of Hawaii system in the
Fall of 1982 was 46,562. Of this
number, 3,944 (or 8.5 percent)
identified themselves as native
Hawaiians. 44/ There were not as many
native Hawaiian professors relative to
the entire faculty. In the Fall of
1982, there were 3,387 professors in
the University of Hawaii system. Only
90, or 2.7 percent, were of native
Hawaiian descent.
The small number of native Hawaiian
students at the University of Hawaii
may have a direct impact on the number
of native Hawaiians in the educational
workforce reported in the previous
section. According to the Hawaii
Department of Education, the subject
of the relative lack of native
Hawaiians in the educational workforce
is:
...far more complex than simply
implying that Hawaiians or others
have been systematically excluded.
Family attitudes and influential
teachers generally have a major
influence on how many youngsters
eventually become teachers and,
subsequently, educational
officers. There have been so few
Hawaiian and part-Hawaiian
students matriculating from the
public school system to the
University in the past decades
that it is no surprise that there
are few teachers and educational
officers of Hawaiian ancestry.
When teachers were really needed
by a rapidly expanding school
system in the 1960's, local
interest was not enough to fill
the positions needed so the
Department had to recruit teachers
from the Mainland. That would
have been a perfect time for more
Hawaiians to have been hired into
the system but the interest was
not there in that "pre-renaissance"
era. 45/
