Despite Guam’s geographic isolation, the island is still part of the global economy and community. Exposure to world events and the challenges of the 21st century are unavoidable, especially with the rising use of technology and social media by Guam’s students. Unfortunately, a large percentage of the island’s students are still educationally disadvantaged to compete globally as professionals--not only with their U.S. peers--but also with their Asian peers.
