Kanyakumari Education
Education in Kanyakumari district is greatly influenced by the Christian Missionaries which were the pioneers of English education in the erstwhile Travancore State and more particularly in the then South Travancore, the area which presently forms the district of Kanyakumari. The Portuguese and the Dutch, who came to the erstwhile Travancore State before the British, were the Roman Catholics and they paid little attention towards the cause of education. But later, the Protestant Missionaries who arrived in this place introduced English education in the district, which was part and parcel of the then Travancore State. The founder of the English School in the formerly Travancore State was Rev. William Tobias Ringle Taube, a native of Prussia and a man of great force and character. He came in the year 1806, and after that, he devoted his whole energy to evangelical work and wherever he went, he carried with him the mission of English education.

He was incessantly preaching and teaching and he established many schools for poor children, Christians as well as non-Christians.
Some schools and colleges in Nagercoil are more than 150 years old, like Scott Christian College, built by the foreign missionaries. European missionaries, in the 19th century and early 20th century played a major role in imparting education to the people of the town and district.
