Africa Inland Mission pioneered the introduction of Western form of education to the Akamba community amidst many  challenges. AIM''s founder, Peter Cameroon Scott  introduced education in Nzaui Mission station in 1896  before his death. Scott''s vision was to spread the gospel of Christ Jesus by establishing a chain of mission stations from the east coast of Africa to the west. He died a year later in 1896,  after opening mission stations at Sakai, Kilungu and Kangundo. After his death, God raised Charles E.Hurlburt, as his successor who gave the  organization a new structure and made Scott''s vision a reality in Africa. Hurlburt supported and encouraged the use of education as a strategy for evangelism in AIM from 1906 till his resignation in 1925. The Akamba people resisted this modern  education in favor of their traditional methods of training; but after 1920s they changed their attitude and demanded AIM must improve their educational curriculum in Ukamba region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783843384599\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAN INVESTIGATION OF THE EDUCATIONAL POLICIES OF THE AFRICA INLAND MISSION AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF EDUCATION IN THE AKAMBA COMMUNITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783843384599","offer_id":39470035664989,"sku":"9783843384599","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/21f60b8a-968c-4765-9f8e-0a196392745d.jpg?v=1777009154","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/education-among-the-akamba-people-1895-1970-von-bernard-nzioka","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
