Africa was viewed by the Europeans as an appropriate place for missionary work and an ideal area for the spread of Western education. Christian missions were very active in Colonial West Africa. It was through their establishment of educational institutions that people had access to Western education. The latter was the means through which Christian missionaries reached their objective that was teaching Africans to read the Bible and secure them to their faith. Effectively, their work bore a great success in Sierra Leone, which had certain significance in the sense that it was the first land on which the British missionaries set foot, and people had access to education. The target of this article is to clarify whether the bulk of the people were for or against Western education. What was Sierra Leoneans reaction towards the spread of this kind of education?
Key Words: Western education, Christian missionaries, Sierra Leoneans, schools, reaction, attitude.
