The 19th century saw the increasing influence of Missionaries. With the arrival of more missions into the country came an explosion in mission schools across southern Ghana. The Wesleyan and Basel missionaries established schools in Cape Coast, Accra, Anomabu, Dixcove, Akropong, and all along the coast between the 1830s and 1850s. The Ashanti Region did not see any form of formal education until 1831 when two Ashanti princes - Owusu Kwantabisa, son of Osei Yaw Akoto, and Owusu Ansah, son of Osei Bonsu - were sent to Cape Coast Castle school to be educated at the expense of Captain George Maclean, then the governor of the Gold Coast. The two princes were later sent to England for further studies. By the 1840s, Wesleyan missionaries had moved to Kumasi to establish missionary schools.
