Nghe An Provincial Party Secretary: Educating the young generation on ideals, ethics, and cultural lifestyle must be more substantial.

On the morning of May 9, comrade Nguyen Duc Trung - Provincial Party Secretary chaired the regular April meeting of the Provincial Party Standing Committee.

Attending the meeting were comrades: Hoang Nghia Hieu - Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Council; Tran Duc Thien - Deputy Head of Department III of the Central Inspection Committee; along with comrades in the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and leaders of a number of provincial departments, branches, sectors and units.

The Provincial Party Standing Committee listened to and commented on the draft report summarizing 10 years of implementing Directive 42-CT/TW of the Secretariat on strengthening the Party's leadership in educating revolutionary ideals, ethics, and cultural lifestyle for the young generation in the 2015-2030 period.

After 10 years of implementing Directive 42-CT/TW, Party committees at all levels, authorities, departments, branches, the Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations, and Youth Union chapters at all levels have increasingly recognized the meaning and importance of educating the young generation on revolutionary ideals, ethics, and cultural lifestyle.

Propaganda and education work continues to be innovated and created. Revolutionary action movements are widely deployed by Youth Union chapters in the whole province, bringing about results. Most union members and youth have a firm political stance, trust in the leadership of the Party and the companionship of the Union.

Propaganda work is constantly innovating its content and methods, closely following the developments in economic, social, psychological life and the needs of young people. Closely combining education, self-education, raising awareness and political enlightenment with concrete actions in studying, working, working and training of union members and young people.

Regularly improve the content and organization of activities to train social practice skills, communication, collective and community activities for cadres, union members and young people; continue to promote effective skill training models, create routines, and attract a large number of cadres, union members and young people to participate.

In addition, the activities of Youth Month and the Summer Youth Volunteer Campaign, with their annual renewed content, have achieved many positive results with typical activities, attracting a large number of students, young doctors, young intellectuals, young workers, farmers, civil servants, young businessmen, union members, and young armed forces to participate.

The awareness of cadres, union members and youth about studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and lifestyle is increasingly complete; following Uncle Ho has become a voluntary and conscious act of the majority of young people; many advanced examples of young people, new models and good ways of studying and following Uncle Ho have appeared.

However, the content and methods of the Youth Union and youth movement in some places have not kept up with the needs of the youth, and are still formalistic and administrative in style; propaganda work and moral and lifestyle education for a number of youth who violate the law and fall into social evils have not met requirements.

The number of young people breaking the law and falling into social evils is increasing; the team of youth cadres changes frequently, so their skills and experience in organizing and gathering young people are limited. A part of the youth has lost faith, lacks awareness of law enforcement, lives pragmatically, lacks ideals, and is far from the good cultural traditions of the nation.

The allocation of operating funds to grassroots Youth Union organizations has been implemented, but it is still not really guaranteed and does not meet the actual needs to improve the quality of activities. Investment in facilities and materials for healthy sports and entertainment activities for young people has not received due attention.

The management of union members and youth is sometimes not strict. The inspection and supervision of the implementation of Directive No. 42-CT/TW is not regular; meetings, dialogues, and understanding of the thoughts and aspirations of union members and youth by Party committees and authorities at all levels are not timely.

Concluding this content, Provincial Party Secretary Nguyen Duc Trung requested to review the results in the report, evaluate the substance more accurately and convincingly. The work of educating revolutionary ideals, ethics, and cultural lifestyle for the young generation must aim at specific goals, specific actions and have specific results.

The work of educating the younger generation on revolutionary ideals, ethics, and cultural lifestyle must be more substantial, so that union members and youth can contribute more to the local socio-economic development process, especially in the fields of science and technology development, innovation, and startups.

Despite initial results, Provincial Party Secretary Nguyen Duc Trung requested to continue innovating the content and methods of educating revolutionary ideals, ethics, and cultural lifestyle for the young generation.

In the coming time, it is necessary to strengthen the leadership and direction of Party committees and authorities, and the coordination of departments, branches and sectors in this work, not just assigning it all to the youth union.
