Education : a mission around the world : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)

This project was designed to take a deeper look into the role and purpose of teachers in the missionary field. In researching types of schools around the world, two types of schools were generally in existence. For this study, two missionary sites were selected from Central and South America. One school in Bolivia serves as a place of education for children of missionaries as well as local people. Another school in Honduras is operated by a local church and ministers to the children of three Honduran cities. The information gathered from these schools serves as means of providing a clearer picture of what a teacher in the missionary field encounters on a daily basis. A person interested in pursuing this occupation would likely find himself in a school structured like either one of these schools, and examining the structure, foundation, beliefs, and accreditation of these schools was an essential portion of each section of the project.Honors CollegeThesis (B.?.
