Solution

The correct option is B To provide western-style education
The Tonkin Free Schools were started in 1907. Their main aim was to provide western-style education. This education included classes in science, hygiene and French. It was not enough to acquire knowledge in science and western ideas but was also important to learn to look 'modern'.
