First of all, I am an absolute noob regarding music, so please bear with me.
I am trying to understand an exercise (from my son's school lesson, where teacher seems to be reluctant to explain this in detail ...) about solmization with syllables "du da di". I am giving the solution to the exercise question as an image here: 
The question reads in english like:
Write down the corresponding solmization syllables below the notes.
The question is provided just with the notes, but without the syllables, of course.
I do not understand the rules for when to put what syllable below the notes.
I already did some gooling and searching in here, but could not find a hint about this. Regarding solmization I only find explanation about "do re mi fa so", so it seems to me this "du da di" syllable are some custom stuff.
So my questions are:
What kind of rule is behind this solmization? When do I put which syllable in? Is there any general convention about what syllables will be used (du da di) or is this just a convention that each teacher can agree with their students?

The names of the notes depend not on their length, but on their position in the measure. The six eighth notes per measure are named:
du da di du da di
♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪
No matter how long a note is, it gets the name of the position where it starts; e.g. a note which starts on the third eighth note would be a "di":
du da di du da di
♩
di
So the example in the question would become:
du da di du da di du da di du da di du da di du da di
♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♩ ♪ ♩ ♪ ♪ ♩ ♩ ♪
du da di du da di du di du di du da du di
I guess it's an exercise in keeping track of where you are in the rhythm, though it would probably be clearer if you sang "o-one three fou-our six" instead of "duuu di duuu di".

@Tim The problem in German is of course that "eins", "zwei" and "drei" all have the same vowel. If a whole class is singing "doo dah dee" you can easily hear (and see) when someone makes a mistake.
