  • World Patterns of Seventh-Day Adventist Education Is the Only Description of the Church Educational System by Countries
    WORLD PA~fTERNS of Seventh-day Adventist Education WORLD PA'ITERNS of Seventh-day Adventist Education Christian EDUCAiiON An Adventist Essential Sixth Revision, 1993 Department of Education, General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists 12501 Old Columbia Pike, Silver Spring, MD 20904 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface ..................................................... 3 Placement Recommendations ..................................... 4 Abbreviations and Symbols . 5 Categories of Seventh-day Adventist Schools . 6 Abbreviated Symbols for Countries without SDA Schools ................. 7 Patterns of SDA Education (Countries in Alphabetical Order) . 9 Bibliography . 187 Index of Names and Places . 195 3 PREFACE The General Conference Department of Education coordinates the educational work of the Seventh-day Adventist Church from a global perspective. 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.

Since our beginning in 1952 as a teacher training junior college in Mongmong, the University of Guam has grown into the largest U.S. accredited institution of higher learning on this side of the international dateline and has graduated over 17,200 students who are now engaged, dynamic professionals in Guam, our neighboring island communities and across the world. Today, the University offers 26 undergraduate degrees and 14 graduate programs. We hope that the information presented here will highlight the many facets that comprise the University of Guam and will help you gain a greater understanding of the nature of the University.
