Or
How did the French seek to strengthen their rule in Vietnam through the control of education ?   [CBSE 2014]

Answer:

(i) The French framed a new curriculum in which they highlighted the need and importance of French rule but on the other  hand Vietnamese teachers and students did not blindly follow the curriculum framed by the French. Sometimes, there was open opposition and at other times, there was silent resistance. As the number of Vietnamese teachers increased in the lower classes, they quietly modified the text and criticised what was stated.
(ii) In most of the schools front seats were reserved for the French but the locals resisted whenever they got an opportunity. When a Vietnamese girl was terminated over the issue of front seat the whole school protested, and forced the authorities to take her back. It was a victory for the educated class.
(iii) The French tried to change the values, norms and perceptions of the people, to make them believe in the superiority of the French civilisation, and the inferiority of the Vietnamese. On the other hand, Vietnamese intellectuals, feared that Vietnam was losing not only the control over its territory, but also its very identity: Its own culture and customs, were being devalued, and the people were developing a master-slave mentality.
(v) The french sought to strengthen their rule in Vietnam through the control of education. On the other hand, the educated class wanted to use education as a means to fight ,  against the colonial rule.
