- Summary:
-
Pacific Resources for Education and Learning (PREL) works closely with 10 American-affiliated Pacific entities: (1) American Samoa; (2) the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands; (3) the Federated States of Micronesia (Chuuk, Kosrae, Pohnpei, Yap); (4) Guam; (5) Hawaii; (6) the Republic of the Marshall Islands; and (7) the Republic of Palau. The main purpose of this survey was to raise awareness of the risk factors affecting educators in the Pacific entities served by PREL and to provide insight necessary to redress the concerns of students, policymakers and educators around the region. These risk factors might also play a role in teachers' and school administrators' absenteeism, attrition, and stress/burnout. In Guam, 301 completed teacher surveys and 16 school administrator surveys were returned. Absenteeism among teachers and administrators does not appear to be a problem. Nearly 20 percent of all teachers surveyed agreed that they might leave within the next 2 years. Top reasons given include no support, low salaries and poor working conditions. Seventy-five percent of school administrators agreed they might leave, citing personal health problems and stress as reasons. The data collected in the study reveal the extent of these problems and shed some light on possible contributing factors. Appendixes contain teacher and administrator questionnaires.
