Ho Chi Minh gradually formed the idea of the role, purposes, contents, programs, principles, methods, mottos, organization and conditions of political theory education Stemming from patriotism, by practical activities, with special political sensitivity, President Ho Chi Minh was the first person in our country to be interested in revolutionary theory and persistent practice the education of revolutionary theory for generations of Vietnamese patriots The system of Ho Chi Minh's ideas on political theory education has formed a philosophy of Ho Chi Minh's political theory education 2.1.2 The basic contents of Ho Chi Minh Ideology on the education of political theory 2.1.2.1 Ho Chi Minh Ideology on the political theory and political theory education Ho Chi Minh's thought on political theory education occupies an important position in the revolutionary cause He left us with a comprehensive and profound system of views on the basics of political theory education That is the thought about the role and purpose of political theory education; on subjects, objects, contents, programs, principles, methods, mottos, ways of organization and management, facilities and conditions to ensure political theory education activities That legacy can be considered as Ho Chi Minh's educational philosophy on political theory 2.1.2.2 Ho Chi Minh Ideology on the role and purpose of political theory education - According to Ho Chi Minh, political theory education has a particularly important role: + Orienting activities, creating political and ideological unity within the Party, consensus among the people on the goals and the way up of the country + Equip the proletariat's stance, so that cadres, party members and people can improve their political skills, build worldview, and scientific methodology + Cultivate and practice revolutionary morality to build a solid foundation, the "root" of revolutionary cadres + Determining scientific belief in Marxism-Leninism, the Party's line and policies, the Goverment's policies and laws and confidence in the revolutionary cause of the Party and the nation - The purpose of political theory education is “Learning to work, to be people, to be officers Learning to serve organizations, class and the people, homeland and humanity” [99, 208] 2.1.2.3 Ho Chi Minh's Ideology on the subjects involved in political theory education The Party, State, teachers and learners are the main subjects who play 11 Regarding the mission of the center, before 2019, according to Decision 185-QD/TW, the centers has five basic tasks: Firstly, the primary training in political -

and also the subjects of application (the propaganda committee of the levels, district committees, lecturers, students) must organize and implement the introduction of Ho Chi Minh's Ideology on political theory education into political theory education activities at the center with different ways methods and methods suitable to current actual conditions and situations That is, the committees, propaganda committees at all levels, lecturers and students must study, organize and strictly implement Ho Chi Minh's Ideology system on political theory education That is Ho Chi Minh's Ideology on the position, role, purpose, content, program, principles, methods and motto of political theory education; how to build a team of lecturers and the organization and management, ensuring the physical conditions for political theory education activities at the centers b) The requiments for applying Ho Chi Minh Ideology in education of political theory at district-level political training centers In order for the application of Ho Chi Minh's Ideology on political theory education at the centers to be ensured, the educational subjects - at the same time the subjects of application (the Propaganda committee at all levels, the district committees, the lecturers, students) must be able to determine the content, method and effectiveness of the application 15 First, the application content requirements The requirements on applied content require educational subjects to identify and strictly implement Ho Chi Minh's Ideology on political theory education in education activities at centers In which, the focus is on the awareness and establishment of the position, role and purpose of political theory education; on contents, principles, methods, mottos, ways of organization and management and conditions to ensure educational activities according to Ho Chi Minh's Ideology Second, requirements on how to apply The requirements of this principle require that the research, organization and implementation of Ho Chi Minh's views and thoughts on political theory need to be placed in space and time, with historical and specific existence circumstances, must have a dialectical, comprehensive, systematic, focused, focused and practical point of view The application of Ho Chi Minh's Ideology on political theory education at the centers must fight against stereotypes, dogmas and must take into account the historical and concrete conditions of the application The principles, contents, methods of political theory education must be applied creatively and realistically with specific objects and situations Third, the requirement for the effectiveness of the application To ensure the effective application of Ho Chi Minh's Ideology in political theory education at centers, committees, propaganda committees at all levels, lecturers, and students - educational subjects need to overcome the limitations of the political system institutions, weaknesses, solving problems posed in the past time in political theory education at the centers The effectiveness of the application of Ho Chi Minh's Ideology in political theory education at the centers must be aimed at improving the quality, meeting the requirements of building a contingent of cadres and party members at grassroots level quality, capacity and prestige, on par with tasks 16 Chapter THE CURRENT SITUATION AND PROBLEMS OF APPLYING HO CHI MINH IDEOLOGY IN EDUCATION OF POLITICAL THEORY AT DISTRICT-LEVEL POLITICAL TRAINING CENTERS IN VIETNAM TODAY 3.1 The current situation of applying Ho Chi Minh Ideology in political theory education 3.1.1 Some outstanding results of applying Ho Chi Minh's Ideology in political theory education at district-level political training centers 3.1.1.1 The awareness of the Party committees at all levels about political theory education and the application of Ho Chi Minh's Ideology in political theory education at political training centers is increasing day by day The determination of the position, role and purpose of this work is increasingly important Party committees at all levels have become more and more aware of the position, role and importance of political theory education for cadres, party members and the masses at grassroots level Considering political theory education as "an urgent task" as an "important task", "the original work of the Party"; clearly define the purpose of learning: “Learning to work, to be a person, to be an officer Learning to serve the Union, the class and the people, the Fatherland and humanity” [99,208] in accordance with the guiding thought of Ho Chi Minh The Resolution of the 4th Party Central Committee, the 12th term of the Party, considered laziness to study and being afraid to study political theory as one of the manifestations of the deterioration of political thought, morality and lifestyle 3.1.1.2 Correctly identify and ensure the principles, methods and mottos of political theory education Basically, the principles of President Ho Chi Minh's education have been implemented relatively well in all stages From the development of the content, the program to the implementation of teaching and learning as well as evaluating the results The district centers have actively renewed teaching methods and evaluated students, initially meeting the requirements of improving the 17 quality of education Lecturers have focused on linking reasoning with practice in teaching and have many vivid illustrations They have focused more on building a democratic learning environment, real self-study and lifelong learning The teaching motto is practical, specific, suitable to the audience, with practice has initially been focused The building of a democratic learning environment, self-study and lifelong learning has gradually been implemented at the centers 3.1.1.3 The content of political theory education adheres to the spirit and thought of Ho Chi Minh, ensuring layers of knowledge The educational contents according to Ho Chi Minh's Ideology have been taught in the centers However, according to the requirements and characteristics of learners, these contents are included in each specific program with different volumes - The basic political theoretical knowledge of Marxism-Leninism, Ho Chi Minh's Ideology, the Party's Ideology is mainly shown in 05 programs: Primary program of political theory, Program for students of the target class admitted to the Party, Program for fostering new party members, Program fosters knowledge update for public servants and Party members at grassroots level; The program fosters professional and political theory for the National Front and socio-political organizations Statistics of the lessons in the curriculum at the center, there are 17/111 articles providing basic political theory knowledge about Marxism - Leninism, Ho Chi Minh's thought accounts for 15.3% - Content of ethical standards is shown relatively comprehensively and deeply in all programs taught at the centers There is a program of writing about morality such as the program "Education of revolutionary morality in the new era", there is a program that shows through the content of one or two articles or there is a program shown in the content of a article (such as the training program for enrollees to the Party, the training of new party members, the topic of patriotism education, the elementary program of political theory, etc.) There are 11/111 articles (accounting for 9.9%) providing knowledge about moral education in the curriculum at the center - The educational content of the Party's guidelines and guidelines, and the State's policies and laws are taught in the programs, but the main focus is 18 on five programs: Ethnic issues and ethnic policies of the State Communist Party of Vietnam; Religious issues and religious policies of the Communist Party of Vietnam; International integration; Program on fostering subjects for admission to the Party, Program on fostering new Party members; Training program to update knowledge for officials and party members at all levels There are 34/111 articles (accounting for 30.6%) providing knowledge about the guidelines and lines of the Party, policies and laws of the State in the curriculum at the centers - Knowledge of the Party's history is included in a number of programs such as the Program on fostering party admissions, the elementary program on political theory, the thematic program on patriotism education There are 6/111 articles providing knowledge about the history of the Party and the nation, accounting for 5.4% - Provide professional knowledge in the following programs: Fostering Party work for Party cell secretaries and grassroots members; Professional training in propaganda in the field of political theory; Professional training in oral communication; Professional training in propaganda at grassroots level; Program to foster political theory and professional skills for the Vietnam National Front and socio-political organizations Statistics show that 43/111 articles (accounting for 38.7%) provide knowledge about business operations General assessment: The contents of the training and retraining programs at the centers have initially applied relatively well the direction of President Ho Chi Minh The content of political and professional theory has been relatively complete according to the guiding thought of President Ho Chi Minh; The proportion of knowledge is also quite suitable The content of the programs is more and more suitable to the audience, gradually simplified, partly overcome the duplication, scholasticism, away from reality, ensuring a relative logic between the topics , between chapters, sections, headings 3.1.1.4 The building of staff and lecturers has been paid attention and gradually consolidated The team of full-time lecturers at the centers are growing in quantity and quality Over 50% of the center's staff are full-time lecturers The working capacity and teaching skills of the lecturers have gotten better and better, partly meeting the requirements of political theory education activities 19 at the grassroots level 3.1.1.5 The organization and management of the classroom is increasingly scientific and orderly; pay attention to investment in facilities, material and technical equipment to ensure the operation of the center - The direction, organization and management at the centers have been carried out in accordance with the guiding ideology of President Ho Chi Minh, the Party committees and the propaganda boards at all levels are the agencies that manage, orient, guide, examine the political theory education at the centers - Centers open many types of training and retraining; The number of students in the class is basically not too large - The assurance of facilities and equipment for educational activities has been paid attention and invested Most of the centers have independent campuses and offices 3.1.2 The limitations in applying Ho Chi Minh's Ideology 3.1.2.1 Determining the position, role and purpose of political theory education according to Ho Chi Minh's Ideology has not been set at the right level and task requirements - Some Party committees are not aware of the position, role and importance of the center in political theory education There has not been a worthy investment in human resources as well as material and technical foundations to ensure political theory education activities - A number of documents defining the location of the center as well as directing its activities are still inconsistent, inconsistent, and overlapping, causing difficulties for the center's political theory education activities - Lecturers as well as students have not been properly aware of the position, role, goals and objectives of political theory education according to Ho Chi Minh's Ideology Considering the study of political theory lightly, the purpose of learning has been shown to be skewed 3.1.2.2 The direction, management and administration of political theory education activities at political training centers have not been consistent and synchronous In the past years, the direction and positioning of the center are sometimes inconsistent and overlapping in leadership and direction; lack of 20 consensus on organizational model The working relationship and management mechanism of the center's educational activities are also unclear Directives and instructions have not yet clarified the tasks of committees and propaganda boards at all levels in directing, managing, inspecting and supervising the center's activities The coordination between departments, branches and mass organizations in training and fostering political theory is sometimes not close and synchronous Especially in the appraisal and approval of training programs and plans of centers 3.1.2.3 The content of teaching and learning political theory is still duplicated, heavily scholastic, lacking in update and current affairs - The educational content on local traditions, culture, and history that is built and taught is still small, and the proportion is not commensurate with other contents - Many programs are scholastic, out of date, have not really kept up with the changes of requirements and tasks, have not yet answered the current problems of life, lack of persuasion, lack of practical exercises, not yet creating real excitement for learners - The program is not really streamlined, there is overlap; There is no consensus, synchronization, and linkage between programs 3.1.2.4 The application of Ho Chi Minh's Ideology in determining the principles, mottos and educational methods of political theory is not clear, smooth, and inconsistent Some contents of the program as well as the teaching process of the lecturers, the unity between the party character, the science, between theory and practice has not yet been clearly demonstrated In terms of methods, Ho Chi Minh's motto of political theory education has introduced very new and very modern conceptions of how to learn and teach political theory However, in the centers, the use of teaching methods is still outdated Students have little opportunity to exchange and discuss The implementation of the motto "practical, specific", "suitable with the subject, with reality" or "build a democratic educational environment", train students to think independently, creatively, self-study, lifelong learning according to Ho Chi Minh's Ideology that has not performed well 21 3.1.2.5 The work of building a team of theoretical educators has not met the practical requirements set forth - Many committees at all levels have not yet developed a strategy for developing lecturers, and have not yet formed a team of experts with sharp political thinking, profound theoretical knowledge and good teaching experience - The work of fostering lecturers has not been properly invested, the standardization of staffs still has many shortcomings 3.1.2.6 The organization and management of training and retraining is not systematic and scientific The assurance of physical facilities and equipment is not commensurate with the requirements and tasks - A number of classrooms are still crowded, and have not yet organized some training programs - In most of the centers, equipment and facilities to ensure teaching and learning are lacking, outdated, not meeting the requirements in applying Ho Chi Minh's Ideology in education 3.1.3 Causes of results and limitations in applying Ho Chi Minh's Ideology in political theory education at district-level political training centers 3.1.3.1 Cause of the achievements First, the awareness of political theoretical educational subjects is increasingly clear about the position, role and importance of education Second, the implementation of Ho Chi Minh's Ideology in political theory education in the centers is increasingly serious and methodical 3.1.3.2 The cause of the limitations First, the management agencies, directing agencies, teachers as well as students are not fully aware of Ho Chi Minh's ideology on the position, role, goals, purposes and tasks of main theoretical education Second, the direction and organization of the implementation of Ho Chi Minh ideology in practice are inconsistent, confusing and unclear Third, facilities and conditions to ensure educational activities requirements have not been met 3.2 Problems in applying Ho Chi Minh Ideology on political theory education in the district-level political training centers 3.2.1 Leaders, managers, lecturers and academies need to be fully 22 aware of the position, role and importance of political theory education 3.2.2 Directing uniformly and synchronously in the system of documents, in the organization, personnel, payroll, regimes and policies for lecturers and students; renovate the operation mechanism, develop the coordination regulation among relevant agencies in the educational work of political theory 3.2.3 Renovate the content and program, ensure it is concise, basic and modern, linking theory with practice and suitable for target audience 3.2.4 Ensure smooth and unified implementation of the promotion of democracy, initiative, creativity and active self-study of learners according to Ho Chi Minh's thought 3.2.5 There is a plan to build a teaching staff of political theory in a methodical and strategic way 3.3.6 Renovate the organization and management of training and retraining activities, strengthen material and technical foundations, ensure funding according to training and retraining requirements, commensurate with requirements and tasks CHAPTER APPLYING HO CHI MINH IDEOLOGY TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF POLITICAL THEORY EDUCATION AT DISTRICT LEVEL POLITICAL CONTACT CENTER -
