Abstract: | From Education Scenario: Until the advent of the British at the turn of the 1 Century, The Khasis has no written script knowledge was handed over from one generation to another by the word of mouth. Till 1842 Khasi language was primarily a spoken language with a number of dialects. It was Thomas Jones, the first Welsh Presbyterian Missionary who came to Cherrapunjee in June 1841, who reduced spoken Khasi into a written language using the Roman Script. Early in 1842 Thomas Jones took the initiative to open schools in villages near Cherrapunjee. Accordingly the first mission school was built at Mawsmai (East Khaki Hills District). |
