Library of Hanoi National University of Education INTRODUCTON Reason for choosing the thesis topic In the current context of incredibly complicated and unpredictable international and region situation, our country is currently confronting new issues, including advantages and opportunities interwoven with acute difficulties and challenges Along with many major strategies and orientation policies on constructing and developing the country, the Party and the State set out administrative reform policies to develop a state of transparent, firm, and gradually modernized, in which the construction of the officials, public servants with sufficient qualification and capacity is an important task as officials and public servants are the core human resources in managing and organizing the implementation tasks by the State The 11th nationwide Congress document of the Communist Party of Vietnam was stated that “Developing and improving quality of human resources, especially of high qualified human resources, is one of key elements determining the rapid and sustainable development of the country” Therefore, it is necessary to “Make a remarkable change in training and fostering” in order to “build up transparent officials and public servants having capacity to meet requirements of new context” The officials and public servants are a part of the state administrative system that play an important role in planning and deciding whether guidelines and policies will succeed or fail and be the force directly implementing policies and plans of the agencies and organizations, and national targets Resolution No 30c/NQ-CP dated November 08, 2011 by the Government on Overall program of state administrative reform in the period of 2011-2020 was stated that one of core objectives of the program is “Building up officials and public servants having enough qualification, ability, and skill to meet the requirements of serving our people and the development of the country” The quality of officials and public servants have a decisive meaning for the success of state administration reform, and fostering officials and public servants is one of the important elements to build up high qualified, professional and modern officials and public servants meeting the requirements of country’s innovation in the new context In recent years, with the interest and leadership by the Party and the Government, the training and fostering officials and public servants has had positive changes, contributing to improve the qualifications and problem solving skills of officials and public servants However, according to international integration trend and the constant development of science and technology, global political socio-economic situation has always been changing and the relationship between nations has been become more and more complicated, which requires the force to have enough qualification and capacity to deal with new trends That is being good at professional, understanding the knowledge related to leading and managing, being able to obtain and process the information, possessing the socio-economic rules, especially the rules of market economy as well as effectively applying these rules in leading and managing to specific condition, context and position Nowadays, the qualification of officials and public servants in the new period must reach a higher level than what in scope and sector of which they are in charge Therefore, training, fostering and improving capacity for officials and public servants is crucial In fact, the management of fostering officials and public servants at the training institutions of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MOHA) recently has made great contributions to the developing of the firm, transparent and professional officials and public servants, contributing to the country’s construction and renovation However, there still remain shortcomings and drawbacks The management of fostering program content has not been consistent and regularly updated The fostering activities focused on theory rather than professional, business, state management knowledge; even professional training is also lack of balance, The form and content of fostering officials and public servants has been renovated but not in high efficiency, training schedule has still focused on providing lessons of theoretical, impractical content The management of lectures has been depending on relations leading to not high quality of lecturers, so there is still situation in which several lecturers have not updated new knowledge for timely fostering learners due to limited capacity or the capacity of guiding learners to practice problem-solving is poor and limited in fostering officials and public servants in titles and positions… In general, the management of fostering officials and public servants has not completed, synchronized and partly met the practical requirements of the innovation This leads to the awareness of a part of officials and public servants has been inconsistent, lack of creativity; many officials and public servants who have not understood the assigned functions, duties and authorities had subjectively and randomly handled tasks, leading to law violations Some officials and public servants have expressed the decline in quality, ethics, and lifestyle, the lack of responsibility and poor attitude of serving people, while the requiring, bureaucratic, and wasteful situations are still existing; working modes and styles of many agencies are remaining stagnant, manual In the current period of renovating, integrating, stabilizing and developing the country, officials and public servants are required to have not only comprehensive but also broad as well as deep qualification and capacity They must be good at professional, understand the knowledge related to leading and managing, be able to obtain and process the information, possess the socio-economic rules, especially the rules of market economy as well as effectively apply these rules in leading and managing to specific condition, context and position Nowadays, the qualification of officials and public servants in the new period must reach a higher level than what in scope and sector of which they are in charge To achieve this, the solution is constantly improving the quality of officials and public servants, and management of fostering officials and public servants is a particularly important factor in fostering officials and public servants to enhance the quality of this force For this very reason, the author has selected the thesis topic "Management of fostering officials and public servants at training and fostering institutions of Ministry of Home Affairs in the current period"

simultaneously accessing to modern TF development and management science in the world 1.1.3 General remarks on the studying situation of existing research works and research orientation of the thesis * Remarks on the studying situation In general, all above works have focused on solving the practical problems arising in OPS TF activities These scientific works provide many a great deal of materials of theoretical basis, knowledge and experience of building OPS in general, equipping the thesis author with reference materials in the course of researching the topic However, problems in management of official and public servant fostering activities at Ministries and sectors’ TF institutions have not been mentioned much There has been no research work related to this matter conducted for Ministry of Home Affairs * Research orientation of the thesis On the basis of the purposes and requirements of the thesis and overall studying situation of the topic, PhD student has identified research orientations as follows: - Selectively absorbing results (regarding reference material, content of research method) of previous research works, applying in the research and presentation of my

tiengs Viet cho ddongf booj ) in which participants are lecturers from two faculties (phase 1) and 04 units (phase 2), generally it is concluded as follow: Through the survey results of applying problem-solving method in teaching of 22 experimental lecturers, it is can be assessed that the qualifications and the level of applying problem-solving method in teaching of experimental lecturers are both better than that before experimentation This allows us to conclude that: When the capacity and qualifications of lecturers are improved, the management efficiency of training and fostering institutions will also be enhanced i Assessment of responses TOPICS DIFFICULT EASY TO TO UNDERSTA UNDERSTA ND ND Learners are actively initiative in the lessons Topics appling problemsolving method
