Abstract:Colonial officers recognized education as an important factor in colonial control; missionaries regarded education mainly as an instrument for evangelization; nationalists believed that full participation in all phases of government and ultimate self-government, depended almost entirely on the rate of educational growth. This paper explores the controversy, the result of these conflicting attitudes, with particular reference to Higher Education. Notes.
