Answer to Question #206010 in English for Shivani

Question

Indicate one of the different views held by mission educators on what black students should learn at secondary and teacher training schools

Answer 1

One of the different views held by mission educators on black students was that they should learn industrial and manual education in secondary and teacher training schools rather than formal education. Missionary institutions of learning provided industrial training and elementary education and preached morality to indigenous African people. A position on this view of mission educators was developed that they intended to use mission schools to covertly and overtly incorporate the black people of South Africa into the means of production and exchange relations of the colonists as opposed to inspiring learning, emancipation and critical thinking of the blacks.
