Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

Medium of Higher education was French.

The primary level education was provided in Vietnamese. The medium of instruction in higher classes was French. Mostly the Vietnamese elite enrolled in higher grades. So, every section of the society did not have access to higher education. The education system was designed for the benefit of French and not for local people i.e Vietnamese.
