Camacho 2006 A MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR OF GUAM Buenas yan Hafa Adai! I am pleased to present to you the “2005 Guam Statistical Yearbook” which highlights Guam’s economic development and progress through a comprehensive collection of social, economic, and demographic information on Guam. There are many challenges facing our island today. The wake of the 9-11 terrorist attacks, the Asian Economic Crisis, natural disasters and world events have challenged us to implement innovative measures and programs to revitalize Guam’s economic base. Through effective partnerships with leaders in the public and private sector, we have moved forward in building a strong foundation for a better Guam, a stronger economy. Today, Guam is recognized as a world-class resort destination enjoyed by over a million visitors annually. Record-breaking visitor arrivals coupled with private sector job gains, growing business establishments, and new construction projects are indicators that our island is on the road to economic recovery and stabilization. In addition, the anticipated expansion and relocation of the Marines and their families to Guam will further stimulate Guam’s economic growth and activity. As our island continues to prosper and the quality of life of our people improves, it is important that we provide our government, business leaders and investors with essential information about our community, who we are, where we have come from, and the course we are taking. I commend the management and staff of the Bureau of Statistics and Plans, the Government of Guam agencies and numerous others for their contributions and efforts in making this publication possible. A heartfelt “Dangkulo Na Si Yu’os Ma’ase” to the hard-working men and women for their time and dedication in providing our community with a wealth of current and historical information about our island and the environment we live in. The statistics presented herein serves as a valuable resource tool for which we and future generations can benefit. May God Bless Guam and our wonderful island paradise. THE HONORABLE FELIX P.

In our continued commitment to provide the public and our stakeholders with a comprehensive picture of our community and the economy, the Bureau of Statistics and Plans is pleased to present to you the “2005 Guam Statistical Yearbook.” This sourcebook presents a collection of current and historical socio-economic information that portrays Guam’s economic trend and performance over time.

World Patterns of Seventh-day Adventist Education is the only description of the church educational system by countries. A United Nations list of 218 countries has been used. This sixth edition of World Patterns has grouped in each country secondary and tertiary schools, and uses the official name in the language of the country, as it appears on all legal documents. (Non-English names can be traced to the SPA Yearbook by using the latter's General Index at the back of the book. Sharp's QlossaJY should be used for translating unfamiliar non-English educational terms). Curricula and credentials required for teaching in SDA schools are described as far as possible even where these are not obtainable within the SPA system in the country. This document will be updated from time to time. School entrance age is 6 unless otherwise indicated. An underlined initial means the program is government recognized. The division of the General Conference to which a country belongs is indicated in parentheses according to the code given under "Abbreviations and Symbols." Staffing of colleges and complete secondary schools can be found in the SPA Yearbook.
