CHRISTIAN GIRLS’ SCHOOLS IN KOREA UNDER COLONIAL RULE
Abstract
Colonial regimes have historically utilized various strategies to consolidate their authority over occupied territories. Japan’s presence on the Korean Peninsula from 1905 marked a pivotal period characterized by significant educational reforms. Central to Japan’s colonial policy was the restructuring of education, aimed at instilling moral compliance among the Korean populace. This paper examines the impact of these colonial educational policies on Korean women’s missionary schools operating on the peninsula during this era. Through the analysis of periodicals, official documents, and historical records, this study investigates how these policies influenced the activities and objectives of missionary schools, particularly in their roles as educational and cultural agents amidst colonial dominance.
