The first Mission Girls' school was started in Kottayam by Mrs. Fenn and Mrs Baker in 1825 or so. It was probably one of the very first Girls' Schools in India. After Mrs. Fenn's departure it was carried on by Mrs. Baker with the help of a daughter for sixty years. Her daughter-in-law and descendents continued the good work for a long time. The introduction of the system of grant in-aid to private educational institutions in 1874, helped the missionaries to promote education to every class of people.11 Kottayam is the first District in India, to acquire 100 percent literacy, and this creditable achievement will always be connected with the name of Baker.
