The wars of dispossession and land claims amongst the various racial groups caused
dissatisfaction which led them to split from each other enabling the Whites to possess
greater part of the South African soil.
Because the Xhosas had their own system of education, the Whites felt that the Xhosas
had first to be anglicised in order to 'tame' them. Missionary institutions such as Lovedale,
Healdtown and St Matthews were established to Christianise the Xhosas.
The missionaries succeeded in their endeavour because the Xhosas started sending their
children to the missionary institutions already established and this influenced the Xhosas to
establish their own tribal schools that would cater for secondary education facilities.
The <Jovernmenr· subsidised the tribal communities to establish secondary schools in their
areas. Fifteen,secoodary schools were established enabling the communities to exercise control
over their own schools as the missionary institutions were controlled by the Cape Department
of Education. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (History of Education)
