The Native Hawaiian Education Program aims to assist Native Hawaiian students in achieving high educational standards by supporting supplemental programs that meet their unique needs. The goals of the program are to help Native Hawaiian children enter school ready to learn, provide teachers with training to address the educational needs of Native Hawaiian students, and increase the percentage of Native Hawaiian students attending and completing postsecondary education. Key strategies include sharing effective models between grant recipients, facilitating networking among schools and organizations serving Native Hawaiians, and collecting performance data from grantees. The program coordinates with other federal education activities but faces the challenge of being a small program serving a small percentage of the Native Hawaiian population.
