12 Population POPULATION The Bahamas is a chain of 700 islands and approximately 200 cays of which an estimated 29 islands are inhabited. Based on the 2010 Census of Popula- tion and Housing there were 351,461 persons, resident in The Bahamas at the time of the Census. Of the 351,461 persons, 348,884 lived in private dwellings and 2,577 in non-private dwellings.

In the decade between censuses, many changes took place in the size and composition of the population. According to the 2010 Census the population of The Bahamas experienced a population growth of 15.8 percent over the past decade, 3.2 percentage points lower than that of the previous decade (1990 - 2000) when the growth was 19.0 percent. This decadal growth is the lowest since the increase in the 1950’s (the period between 1953 and 1963) when the growth was 53.5 percent, the highest ever recorded in the history of the country. The three most populated Islands (New Providence, Grand Bahama and Abaco) accounts for 90% of the total population of The Baha- mas.

24 Education and Training EDUCATION AND TRAINING The Bahamas Education system is comparable to many Western Countries. The early system of education in The Bahamas was organized and adminis- tered mainly by religious denominations. Education in the public sector came into effect with the establishment of a Board of Education, and the Education Act of 1908.

Education in The Bahamas is compulsory between the ages of 5 and 16. The Primary level covers pre-school and grades 1-6 after which pupils transfer to the junior High Level grades 7-9 and Senior High grades 10-12. These levels are fairly distinct in most of the schools in New Providence, with slight variations mainly in the Family Islands, and some privately operated schools remain all age schools.

There are several tertiary education institutions in The Bahamas such as The Princess Margaret Hospital Nursing School and the University of the West Indies, Center for Hotel and Tourism Management, which offers degrees in Hotel Management and Tourism. The College of The Bahamas is the Na- tional tertiary institution, offering associate, bachelor and master degrees. The College of The Bahamas has three campuses, Nassau, New Providence, Freeport, Grand Bahama and George Town, Exuma. The College is in the process of achieving University status.

The Bahamas Education system is comparable to many Western Countries. The early system of education in The Bahamas was organized and adminis- tered mainly by religious denominations. Education in the public sector came into effect with the establishment of a Board of Education, and the Education Act of 1908.

There are other local colleges and branches of American Universities and colleges operating in The Bahamas.

The Ministry of Education has responsibility for all educational institutions in The Commonwealth of The Bahamas.

The Princess Margaret Hospital (PMH) provides general acute care and specialized services. It is a non-profit publicly funded facility built in 1952, previously named The Bahamas General Hospital and was renamed three years later to honor the visit of the Queen of England’s sister Princess Mar- garet to the Commonwealth of The Bahamas. PMH is a comprehensive Healthcare System, providing primary, secondary, and tertiary health services. It is the premier referral centre in the country, acclaimed for its Neo- natal Intensive Care capacity, and with a level one Trauma Centre. The institution is continuing to develop its deep history as an Academic / Teach- ing Hospital with a compliment of 402 beds.

The Rand Memorial Hospital

The Rand Memorial Hospital located in Freeport; Grand Bahama provides general health care to that community. The Rand together with the community health systems form what is known as the Grand Bahama Health Sys- tem. It was originally opened in 1969 as a private facility and became a public hospital in 197l.

The Sandilands Rehabilitation Centre

62 Law and Order LAW AND ORDER The Legal System

Common Law

Common Law originated and began its development in Feudal England in the 16th Century. Its growth is attributed to statutes and more particularly to precedents of previous court decisions and customary practices applied over the years to actual cases and situations. The House of Assembly plays an important role in the development of common law by enacting statutes, which effect change to the prevailing common law on the same point.

Civil Law

Civil Law is used to settle private disputes between individuals and other private parties. Its origins are the same as those of the Common Law.

Human Rights

This area of the law is covered by the schedule to The Bahamas Independ- ence Order 1973, and is called “The Constitution”. Incorporated in its Arti- cles 15 –27 is the protection of the fundamental rights and freedoms guaranteed to each and every person in The Bahamas.

Criminal Law Criminal Law deals with crimes and their punishment. A crime may be described as an act against society. The system derives its efficacy from statutes and decisions rendered in earlier cases. However, the ultimate au- thority is vested in Parliament to enact laws.

Courts and The Judiciary

Supreme Court

The Supreme Court is the third highest court in the adjudicative hierarchy, of The Bahamas. The Supreme Court comprises the Chief Justice and not more than eleven and not less than two (2) justices of the court. The Chief Justice is appointed by the Governor General on the recommendation of the Prime Minister after consultation with the leader of the opposition.

Magistrate Court

The Magistrate Court is the lowest court in The Bahamas. This court is the primary court for many civil and criminal cases. It is presided over by sti- pendiary and circuit magistrates, including the chief magistrate and two deputy chief magistrates.

E o The Police Service of The Bahamas

l i c e

From the early 18th century to the latter part of the 19th century, the devel- o r c

opment of policing in The Bahamas generally followed the pattern of polic- e C ing in England. During the first half of this period, men were appointed as R I M constables to assist the enforcement of government rules and regulations. E S

C O

The Royal Bahamas Police Force was established in 1840, and is the na- M M

tional policing service of The Bahamas. The Police Force is currently a I T T

for an intense six months training regime. After successful completion of A I training “constable” is conferred on the officers and thereafter the officers N S T

are assigned throughout the archipelago, and begin their careers. Further P

training in specialized areas continues after graduation as officers are kept R S current in policing tactics, skills and philosophy. O N 8 1 1 1 1 2 1 9 2 4 3 8 2 1 , , , , , , , , S 2 3 8 0 2 0 1 5 3 6 7 9 0 1 8 5 0 2 5

69 69 70 Tourism TOURISM The Bahamas is a stable, developing Nation with an economy heavily de- pendent on Tourism. It was in 1851 when the government of The Bahamas passed a Tourism Encouragement Act recognizing the potential of a tourism industry. Legislation was designed and passed to stimulate the tourism industry in 1898.

It is believed that approximately 64% of all Bahamians are either directly or indirectly employed in the Tourism Industry. Tourism allows The Bahamas to earn foreign exchange, which has many benefits for The Bahamian people. In 1873 The Bahamas received 500 tourists. Decades later The Bahamas posted a record total of 5.9 million visitors in 2012.
