The Influx of missionaries to colonies- 1800.

These two factors led to what is known today as "The Scramble of Africa" for new markets.

Womens education was not prioritized on the colonial agenda due to their lack of influence.

Men were educated more due to the influence they had in the society.

The education system was used to proselytize the population with the aim of Westernizing and Christianizing them

To complete this aim, the colonists only taught two strands of subjects to achieve the aim.

Literacy and numeracy.

These two strands of subjects would make it easier to convert and proselytize the native population. This would be done through being able to read the scriptures and the hymm books.

Christian Doctrine.

The education system taught the population about "the dignity of labour".

This was a low level of education that was taught to population so that they could work at mission schools for free.

Government officials.

Army forces and government officials used force to overcome the native popolation.
