Staff quality is the breakthrough

(Baonghean) -To successfully implement the goals of the Resolution of the Party Congresses at all levels, Tan Ky has issued Project No. 06 on “Improving the quality of cadres in the political system at the commune and town levels in the period of 2011-2015 and the following years”. After more than 2 years of implementation, the quality of cadres in communes and towns in Tan Ky has had positive changes…

Mr. Vi Van Hanh's garden of aromatic roots (Tan Huong 2 village, Huong Son commune) brings high economic efficiency.

Once a locality with many weaknesses, the cadre work in Huong Son commune, one of the remote and difficult communes of Tan Ky district, has always been in a state of "lack of staff". Before 2010, only 2 commune cadres went to university. Moreover, due to difficult roads, low remuneration and no planning for training and development, cadres have a despondent and stagnant mindset... It is not uncommon for people to work as "cadres" today but leave tomorrow to go to the South to do business. For many years, the cadre team of mass organizations at the commune level to the hamlet level has not developed.

Thanks to the attention and direction of the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee, especially after the Project 06 on "Improving the quality of the cadres of the political system of communes and towns", the cadre work in Huong Son has had positive changes. Starting from the good planning, on that basis, sending civil servants to study and improve their qualifications. Since 2010, the commune has continuously sent cadres to study to improve their professional and political qualifications. Up to now, out of 23 positions, 9 have graduated and 14 are studying at university; 9 have intermediate political qualifications and 11 are studying. Not only the core cadres of the commune but also the team of part-time cadres and mass organizations have also been improved in quality when for the first time, there were cadres of hamlets and associations and mass organizations planned by the locality who used their own money to study to improve their qualifications...

In Tan An commune, after being separated from An Ngai Farm, the quality of the staff also faced many difficulties. After Project 06, along with assessing the current status of the staff, the commune planned and created conditions for competent staff to go for training and development. From 2010 to now, out of 21 civil servants, 18 have studied and are studying at university; 14 are studying at intermediate political school. Thanks to good work in staff work, after only half a term, some of the set targets have been achieved. Not only that, the commune is also bold in arranging and using when strengthening the Party Committee's executive staff, with the capacity to work as Party cell secretaries in educational areas for training.

Project 06 has been widely implemented, so the team of village cadres has also changed. The model of each village party cell increasing 1 key party member to attend activities, not only helping the Party Committees of the communes in leadership and direction but also helping the party cells in activities and leading the economic and social development in the locality. Mr. Vi Van Hanh, Tan Son 2 village, Huong Son commune said: "Previously, the village did not have a party cell, he was promoted to be the secretary and after 3 years of building the village political system, training the village cadres and organizations to get used to the work, he felt secure and submitted a request to the commune Party Committee for retirement".

After two years of implementing Project 06, the whole district has only 47.5% of full-time officials holding election positions who have received professional training and nearly 30% have not yet standardized their political qualifications; 9.5% of commune civil servants have not yet been standardized in professional qualifications, 78% have not yet standardized their political qualifications; nearly 40% of non-professional officials have not graduated from high school, only 23% have intermediate qualifications or higher, 77% have not yet had political qualifications. Up to now, at the grassroots level, each commune has an average of 7.6 officials with university qualifications, meeting the target set by the district Party Congress (from 7-10 people); 85% of commune-level civil servants have professional qualifications from intermediate level or higher, meeting the target of the Congress Resolution (target 85-90%). In fact, Project 06 not only helps communes with poor quality of cadres to improve, but also communes with increasingly strong traditions become bright spots in the district's economy and society; communes and towns with problems and obstacles in cadre work are focused on by the district to resolve and consolidate, creating trust and consensus among the people.

To achieve the above changes, in addition to the project and implementation plan for each commune and town depending on the specific conditions, the District Party Committee's Organizing Committee has issued Guidelines for organizing the vote of confidence according to Project 06 and organized survey and inspection teams to properly evaluate the vote of confidence and the year-end classification of cadres to ensure objectivity and democracy, especially after the self-criticism and criticism review period according to Resolution 4 of the Central Committee (term XI), this work is organized more seriously.

In the communes that we visited and surveyed, namely Huong Son, Nghia Phuc, and Tan An, it is easy to see that the quality of the political system's cadres has clearly changed, with high internal solidarity and collaboration; records, minutes of Party, government, and organization activities are carefully recorded and archived; resolutions are issued and prepared carefully; the results of the vote of confidence are evaluated by superiors in substance; the number of petitions and complaints, including complaints related to cadres, has decreased significantly; Party committees are continuously classified as clean and strong units...

Comrade Nguyen Viet Hoa, Chairman of the People's Committee of Huong Son Commune, shared: “After being trained, the professional quality of civil servants in handling work is indeed much better than before, the quality of the team of union cadres in the commune and hamlet has also been improved. Since then, the leadership and direction of putting policies and resolutions into practice have also been more favorable because they have gained the trust and consensus of the people. The proof is that despite the poor soil conditions, difficult irrigation water and the commune with a large population of ethnic minorities, there is no abandoned land in Huong Son. The commune has good examples of party members doing business such as Mr. Lang Van Chien, Vi Van Hanh... which are good models for people to learn from and change their way of doing business...

It can be said that, although there are still some problems arising from practice, Project 06 on Improving the quality of cadres in the political system of communes and towns in Tan Ky in the period of 2011-2015 has initially created a significant change. Talking to us, comrade Phan Van Giap, Head of the Organizing Committee of Tan Ky District Party Committee said: “Along with the promulgation and implementation of Project 06, the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee has developed guidelines on the content, process, and form of voting for confidence in cadres that are close to the actual situation; after the vote of confidence and evaluation, there are clear and specific handling measures, which not only help superiors correctly assess the quality and reputation of grassroots cadres, but also help the grassroots avoid unnecessary problems in cadre work, build a spirit of solidarity, and bring the local movement forward”.
