The scramble for Africa is a historical time period that we have either heard or read or learned about. One of the things that preceded the wars for the respective African states was missionary work. From around the world, missionaries docked at the different shores and began the work – and part of this work was establishing mission stations that had literary programs. In Kenya, we had missionary stations established at the Coast and in the Western Region, and later, the Colonial administration established education institutions for the European settlers. With time, more schools were established including those solely for Africans.
Education has made us who we are and when we think about the things we know; we credit the textbooks and the institutions that gave us an understanding of these things. At Paukwa, we are fascinated by our country’s history and we welcome you to a new story campaign that looks back at how at the first schools in Kenya.
Karibuni #KeSchools where we will tell the stories of Kenya’s earliest schools..
