I found the following site with a list of schools in all the regions of The Gambia. While some of the dates are not right, it does show an increase in educational establishments in the last two decades.

Are you sure that the Methodist Primary School was built in 1949?
That school looked quite old when I attended it.
Where is orwas the Roman Catholic school located? Did the Methodist school replace that school?
The only two schools in Georgetown when we were there was the Methodist Primary school and Armitage and my family left in 1959.

Subject: Quiz on history of education in The Gambia/Answers and Part II
Internautes,
Thanks for the try. Below are the results
1 - Which Christian mission arrived in The Gambia in 1824 and which
governor invited them?
Dr Jaiteh got that correct: It's the Wesleyan Mission, invited by Sir
Charles MacCarthy.
2 - Which school existing today is the merger of two mission schools?
Dr Jaiteh got that too: Its the Methodist Boys' and the Methodist
Girls' High Schools that were merged into the Gambia High School in
1958.
3 - In which part of The Gambia was Kristikunda boy's primary school,
built in 1941, situated?
Dr Jaiteh almost got it but then our friend Mo Baldeh is right:
Kristikunda is the present St John School of Basse. It was an Anglican
Mission School.
4 - Which Christian mission changed its name from Wesleyan?
Thanks Pa Pierre Gomez. The Wesleyan changed its name to Methodist.
5 - Where in the provinces was the first primary school established? Which year?
Jabou got that right. The first primary school in the Provinces (the
Protectorate to be exact) was in Georgetown. It was in 1911 and it was
Roman Catholic. The Methodist school was built in 1949.
May I forward some more questions on the same theme? Here they are:
6 - Where was the first Teacher Training College opened and when?
7 - In which year was Armitage High School opened and what was the
initial purpose of opening the school?
8 - In which year did Gambia High School start its first 6th Form?
9 - Between 1960 and 1963, three Gambians will become Minister of
Education, a post created in 1954. Who were they?
10 - The following places will all have their schools opened the same
year: Karantaba, Kuntaur, Illiasa, Kaiaf, Bureng, Dumbutu and Njau.
What year was this?
Bonne chance encore!
Fatoumata
PS: The purpose is to stimulate the mind and help in our history.
