They faced major- problems which were:

(i) French citizen living in Vietnam (called colons) began opposing the government’s policy as they

thought they might lose their jobs to the educated Vietnamese.

(ii) The elites in Vietnam were mostly influenced by Chinese culture. To consolidate their power, the French authority had to counter this Chinese influence;

To solve this problem, the French authority took some steps as follows:

(i) Only the Vietnamese elite could enroll in the schools and only a few among those admitted, ultimately passed the school leaving examination.

(ii) Some policy-makers suggested that Vietnamese be taught in lower classes and French in the higher classes. The few who learned French could understand the culture and civilization of France and they could be rewarded with French citizenship

Though the French needed an educated labour force, still what they feared was that if they educated the Vietnamese, they might in turn question their domination. So in response to this, they tried to devise policies that would lend the Vietnamese only a partial access to French education.
The Vietnamese elites were influenced much by the Chinese culture. So it was required of the French to counter this, which they did by dismantling the traditional educational system so prevalent, thereby establishing French schools for the Vietnamese. However these efforts met opposition by the teachers and also the students who revolted either by open opposition or by mere silence. The Vietnamese teachers sometimes also resorted to quietly modifying the text or rather criticizing what was stated.
