STRATEGIC ISSUES

The work of educating the young generation about revolutionary ideals, ethics, and lifestyle has always been of interest to the Party, the State, all levels, sectors, families, schools, and the whole society. One of the important issues of Resolution 29-NQ/TW is to strongly shift the educational process from "heavy" on imparting knowledge to "weighty" on forming and developing the capacity and qualities of learners; focusing on educating personality, ethics, lifestyle, legal knowledge, and civic awareness.

The content of comprehensive education was once again affirmed in Conclusion No. 51-KL/TW of the Party Central Committee Secretariat on continuing to implement Resolution No. 29-NQ/TW, which required: "Promoting education on revolutionary ideals, focusing on education on personality, ethics, lifestyle, legal knowledge and civic awareness in the national education system". In the Resolution of the 13th National Congress of the Party, the phrase "aspiration to contribute" was mentioned many times.

The Education and Training sector has been focusing on directing and creating strong changes in the work of "teaching people", educating ethics, lifestyle, and life skills for young students and gradually implementing the task of "arousing the desire to contribute" for students in educational institutions.

Educating youth, teenagers and children on revolutionary ideals and lifestyle ethics is a strategic issue, both solving immediate problems and having long-term orientation value for the cause of building and defending the Fatherland, contributing to investing in the country's future.

According to Decision 1895, the Program identifies two major goals: One is to continue to strengthen and create positive and comprehensive changes in the education of revolutionary ideals, ethics, and lifestyles for youth, adolescents, and children; contribute to building a generation of youth, adolescents, and children who are steadfast in revolutionary ideals, have strong political will; comply with the law, are responsible for themselves, their families, and society, have life skills, professional skills, and high skills.

Second is to arouse in youth, teenagers and children the spirit of competition in learning and training; dreams, ambitions, will and aspirations to rise up and establish a career, contributing to the cause of national construction and development in the context of the fourth industrial revolution and international integration.
