Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Christian missionaries mainly preach Christianity, so whatever they do, their main goal is to change Hindus and Muslims into Christians. So they criticised practical education. They felt that Indian culture was awkward. They want to create mistrust among Hindus and break their unity. In other words, they wanted to emphasise their religion and rule. They argued that Christianity could improve morality but not practical education. The missionaries believed that the primary purpose of education was to improve one's moral character. Another goal of missionaries' educational work is to procure facilities and open avenues of access for the people to hear preach. They want to establish mass contact to preach through education. Schools became channels of communication and social relations with different classes. "Schools became chapels under the control of missionaries."
