American Samoa Department of Education (ASDOE) operates public schools inAmerican Samoa, aninsular area of theUnited States. American Samoa contains 23 primary schools, 10 secondary schools (of which five are operated by ASDOE),[1] and the remaining 5 are either administered by religious denominations or privately owned.
GovernorClark Daniel Stearns established American Samoa’s first Department of Public Education. He made plans for the establishment of a nursing school. He issued the Education Regulation of 1914, which became the foundation for education development in American Samoa for the next 40 years. The burden of providing school houses, housing for teachers and playgrounds were placed directly on the villages. The government supplied teachers. It was also during his term that education was made compulsory and schools were required to be open four days a week.[2]
