Mission School
Mission School refers to educational institutions established by religious organizations, primarily during the 19th and early 20th centuries. These schools aimed to provide basic education and religious instruction to children, often in areas where formal education was limited. They played a significant role in promoting literacy and cultural exchange, particularly in indigenous and rural communities.
Many Mission Schools focused on teaching reading, writing, and arithmetic, alongside religious teachings. While they contributed to education, they also faced criticism for promoting specific cultural values and sometimes undermining local traditions. Overall, these schools were pivotal in shaping educational landscapes in various regions.
