	== Guam education policy ==		== Guam education policy ==

			Guam's educational system has always faced unique challenges as a small community located 6,000 miles (9,700 km) from the US mainland with a very diverse student body including many students who come from backgrounds without traditional American education. Guam Public Schools have struggled with problems such as high dropout rates and poor test scores. An economic downturn in Guam since the mid-1990s has compounded the problems in schools.


	== Guam education system ==		== Guam education system ==

			The Guam Public School System serves the entire island of Guam. In 2000, 32,000 students attended Guam's public schools.

			Prior to September 1997, the U.S. Department of Defense partnered with Guam Board of Education. In September 1997 the DoDEA opened its own schools for children of military personnel. DoDEA schools, which also serve children of some federal civilian employees, had an attendance of 2,500 in 2000. DoDEA Guam operates three elementary/middle schools and one high school.

	== Guam in a nutshell ==		== Guam in a nutshell ==

			''Guam'' (Chamorro: '''Guåhån''') is an island in the western [[Pacific]] Ocean and is an organized, unincorporated territory of the [[United States]].

			The population is around 178,000.

			The island's capital is Hagåtña (formerly Agana) but the largest settlement is Dededo.
			The Chamorros, Guam's indigenous people, first populated the island approximately 4,000 years ago. The island has a long history of European colonialism beginning in 1521 with the arrival of Ferdinand Magellan and again in 1668, when the first Spanish colony was established following the arrival of settlers. The island was controlled by Spain until 1898, when it was surrendered to the United States as part of the Treaty of Paris following Spanish-American War.

			Guam had a troubled history during the second World War when it was occupied for over two years.

			Today, Guam's economy is supported by its principal industry, tourism, which is primarily composed of visitors from Japan. Guam’s second-largest source of income is the United States military.

			Geographically, Guam is the largest and southernmost of the Mariana Islands.

			Politically, Guam is one of the five major overseas territories of the [[United States]]: [[Puerto Rico]] and the [[United States Virgin Islands]] in the Caribbean; and [[American Samoa]], '''Guam''', and the [[Northern Mariana Islands]] in the Pacific. Those born in the territories (except for American Samoa) possess US citizenship. Guam is one of five such territories with an established civilian government.

			Guam is also one of the eight states/territories comprising [[Micronesia]].
