Question

Why did the French follow a deliberate policy of failing the Vietnamese students in the final year?

Answer 1

Answer:

Most of the students failed because the French followed a deliberate policy of failing the students particularly in the final year so that they could not qualify for the better paid jobs.

Answer 2

Vietnamese students

Explanation:

Majority of the Vietnamese students left school and failed the final year examinations. This was a deliberate ploy by the French colonists to protect the well-paid jobs for the French nationals living in Vietnam. The students were deliberately failed in the final year, so they could not land better paid jobs like shopkeepers, teachers, policemen, etc. These positions were held by the French. Also, most Vietnamese were used to being educated in the Chinese language under the traditional system. So in 1925, out of 17 million Vietnamese, less than 400 passed the examination.
