Answer 2

During colonization in Vietnam, French considered the Vietnamese as uncultured, backward and like Britishers took upon themselves t the responsibility of civilizing them and bringing modernization, though at the cost of their local culture and beliefs. Vietnamese were influenced by the Chinese, and to counter-effect, the French emphasized on teaching French. They started teaching Science, Hygiene and French besides other regular subjects in schools. Students were not only asked to study French, they were expected to sport western looks; for instance, they were required to have short hair which is against their culture.

There are unrest among the students as well as teachers. Only wealthy students could join expensive school. Only one third of the students could qualify school leaving exam which was designed on purpose since French did not want them to hold key jobs. Teachers were not in sync with what they taught, since they had to, they criticized the text or sometimes tried to advocate contrary to the text. 

Thus, the working of schools and  then education system instigated nationalism among Vietnamese.
