  Médaille de l'Instruction publique en Indochine
two classes – established May 16, 1906, modified January 16, 1907
  For: teachers for merit
  Design: round breast badge, 32mm across, with suspension ribbon
    Obverse: wearing a Greek helmet with crest and wreath, the head of a woman symbolic of the Republic facing left, with the inscription around “REPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE“;
    Reverse: in the center an open design like an unfolded sheepskin, surrounded with a wreath, and the inscription above “INSTRUCTION PUBLIQUE" and below “INDOCHINE";
    Suspension: small folded knot of ribbon fixed to medal and leading to ring
  Ribbon: first: violet 2½mm, yellow 5mm, violet 21mm, yellow 5mm, violet 2½mm;

The medals also bear in very small letters on the obverse at the bottom "P. ROQUE INV" and reverse "F. MAGDELAINE". The medal is also known as the Medaille des Instituteurs - Medal for Primary School Teachers. Mr. J. Hass believes the ribbon may have been changed simply so that it would differ from that for the same medal for the Metropole.
