Replacement of Chinese characters in the Nguyễn Dynasty education system

"courageously work for the fortune and greatness of the country, so that everyone associates themselves with all their power with the generous work that the Government of the Republic is pursuing.

I have not spoken in these instructions of the organization of teaching. It will be necessary to investigate to what extent it will be useful to reorganize the old Annamite universities where Chinese literature was taught.

But in the meantime, and to meet the needs of the present hour, you will explain to the natives that it is important that, very quickly, the greatest possible number of them be enabled, on the one hand, to understand our language, and on the other hand, to be understood by the French who study Annamese, their national language.

To achieve this dual goal, you will establish in the major centers, and with all the means at your disposal, with interpreters, administrative employees or non-commissioned officers loaned by the expeditionary force, schools where Annamite in European characters, the elements of French and the first notions of the exact sciences will be taught concurrently.

For the same purpose, you will ask the missionaries to found free schools, with the same program, open to children from all classes of indigenous society.

The expenses that you will temporarily incur to pay teachers, in installation costs, in the purchase of equipment and in school supplies, will be entered on a special statement which will be sent to me will be submitted at the end of each

month. You will ensure that the schools are visited on each tour by the residents and senior officials of the administration. mstration.

Accept, etc."
