The Church And Education
Three Views On The Roles Of Missionary Schools
Missionaries spread the Christian faith among African tribes and bought education and
Western medicine.
Missionaries were the main teachers of black education before Bantu education took over.
Missionaries broke down African culture by imposing Western culture and work patterns.
Mission Education Before 1953
Missionaries, merchants, and traders:
At the same time when merchants, traders and farmers were moving across Africa,
missionaries were also there.
Missionaries came from Europe with the purpose of:
Spreading Christianity
, Working closely with merchants
Educating people.
The magistrate, the missionary and the merchant worked closely together.
In the 1800s European merchants were looking for markets in Africa.
This was the time of merchant capitalism.
Merchants often used moral or Christian arguments to justify taking over Africa.
Missionaries also had certain idea about how life should be led by civilized people.
Missionary Schools
Missionaries came to South Africa from different European countries.
Mission stations were first started in the Cape and Natal.
By the end of the 19th century there were many missionaries in South Africa.
They wanted to establish themselves and convert people to Christianity.
The missionaries also started mission schools.
Missionaries believed education was a way for them to spread the gospel.
Activities Taught At Mission Schools:
Basic reading and writing
Christian Doctrine
Reading the Bible, singing Hymns
Manual work and practical training.
Training people to spread the gospel.
Different Views About The Curriculum
Many educators had different ideas about what black people should be taught.
Some missionaries thought black people should be given the same education as white people.
Others thought the curriculum should be adapted.
Some missionaries thought blacks were inferior and should rather be trained to be labourers.
African Responses To Mission Schools
Missionaries found it difficult to find converts and educate them.
African leaders sometimes accepted missionaries as intermediaries, traders and healers.
They resisted any attempts to break down their own values and authority structures.
People who came to mission stations had their own reasons for doing this.
Not many people came for religious reasons, many of them mainly came to look for work or to
seek refuge from difficulties in their own communities.
Later when the independence of tribes was being threatened, leaders allowed some of their sons
to attend school.
African people did not always take mission education seriously.
They often had their own reasons for sending children to mission schools.
If they didn’t participate in the white-controlled economy, they did not see much value in
learning to read and write.
New Demand For Education
By the end of the 19th century, SA was changing fast.
African chiefdoms were defeated by white conquest and the structures changed.
Because the economy was colonized, there was wide movement of people looking for work.
The discovery of gold and expanding economic activity meant more black people were
interested in wage labour.
People’s attitudes towards education also began to change. Education was seen as a way to get
into the dominant economic and social system.
