Schools became a means of downgrading African customs and of drawing children away from their traditional environment. Seen by many missionaries as the great means of christianizing Africa, schools had the effect of putting the child rather than the adult at the centre of Church concern, producing the situation in which, as has been said, 'while Jesus taught adults and blessed children, we teach children and bless adults'
