We take an account of education that we may know whether it is sufficient in amount and good quality.” The mission of the Division of Planning, Research and Evalu- ation is to help the Virgin Islands Department of Education describe what has occurred and how it can proceed in making decisions affecting its activities. The Division activities of data collection and analyses are to allow others to be informed on the state of education in the Virgin !slands and on a year to year basis. The Statistical Summary for the school year 1983-84 is a major response of the Department’s mandate to report full and complete Statistics on the conditions of education in the Virgin Islands. The 1984 edition of the School Statistical Summary presents narratives, 48 tables and 7 graphic illustrations of the character- istics related to the public and private education in the United States Virgin Islands. Every care has been taken to elicit accurate data from the many sources the Summary depends on. Drawing upon these data sources, the Summary should interest the policy- makers, researchers, and educators. The Summary should also be of interest to the at-large public so care has been taken to pre- pare it for general audience use. Finally, it is hoped this document will serve as a valuable, relevant, and timely source of information and proviae the know- ledge necessary for making informed decisions about education in our territory. Charles W. Turnbull, Ph.D. Commissioner of Education ACKNOWLEDGEMENT James Boswell once said “ .. . knowledge is of two kinds: we know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find infor- mation upon it.” One of the prime functions of the Division of Planning, Re- search and Evaluation, Department of Education is to gather, compile, analyze, and disseminate statistical information on the conditions of education in the United States Virgin Islands. To perform these activities, the Division requires the commit- ment, cooperation and assistance of many. During the school year 1983-84, the Division received all of this and more. To name all those who contributed to the success of this document would take pages. In lieu of naming those connected with the completion of this document, the Division gives them all a warmfelt thanks. Finally, thanks is given to Ms. Louise Romain, for taking the yeoman’s part in the preparation of this document. Luis R.
