| Summary: | In the study of early Mizo Christians as active agents in the Christianisation of the region the early Mizo pastors, the evangelists, the Church elders and the ‘Bible Women’ have been given more prominence. The contribution and role played by the teachers in the early mission schools have not really been the focus of the research. This article attempts to give an account of the early schools in Mizoram and focus on the role of the village primary school teachers. They are shown to be the main agents for transformation in the formative period of the history of the Mizo Church. |
