Agencies and units have regularly innovated forms and methods to improve the quality of political education for soldiers. In addition to organizing concentrated classes, many forms and methods have been applied such as propaganda, rapid dissemination of resolutions, political and current affairs announcements, and political and cultural days. Political education has regularly been linked to organizing emulation movements, carrying out campaigns inside and outside the army, especially implementing Directive 03 of the 11th Politburo on "Studying and following the moral example of Ho Chi Minh" and the campaign "Promoting tradition, dedicating talent, worthy of being Uncle Ho's soldiers".

Party committees, commanders, and political agencies at all levels regularly strengthen political teaching staff in sufficient quantity, ensuring quality, and operating in an orderly manner. Organize training content that focuses on the process and methods of preparing lectures, the work of grasping, managing ideology, and disciplining soldiers.

Many agencies and units have combined the budget from above with the unit's savings to purchase new technical equipment for investment in teaching activities. The quality and results of political education for subjects in the provincial armed forces have been gradually improved.

Agencies and units have conducted political education in the direction of enhancing creativity and self-study of learners for officers and professional soldiers. Regiment 764 has taught according to the prescribed content and program for new soldiers. Districts, towns and cities have organized training close to local tasks for the Militia and Self-Defense Forces, Reserve Mobilization Forces...

With the above results, political education has made an important contribution to raising awareness and strengthening political capacity for cadres, soldiers and people in the stationed area. The cadres, party members and people in the provincial military always strictly abide by the laws of the State, military discipline, unit regulations, have internal solidarity and unity, successfully complete all assigned tasks, and the unit has no serious disciplinary violations that need to be handled. In 2015, the provincial Military Command was awarded the Emulation Flag by the Prime Minister.

To focus on overcoming limitations and shortcomings, and continue to improve the quality and effectiveness of political education work in the provincial military in the coming time, the Provincial Military Command has been leading and directing Party committees and commanders at all levels to regularly monitor and grasp the ideological situation of cadres, soldiers and public opinion.

Pay special attention to grasping the thoughts and feelings of officers and soldiers working in units carrying out difficult and arduous tasks (Regrouping Team, Mat Island, Ngu Island, 17th Engineer Company...); grasp the mood and public opinion of people in special areas.

Agencies and units continue to thoroughly grasp and implement Decision No. 438/QD-CT dated March 21, 2016 of the General Department of Politics on Promulgating the Political Education Regulations in the People's Army and the Vietnam Militia and Self-Defense Force. In which, it is important to grasp the advantages, disadvantages, and impacts of the new Political Education Regulations in local military units, thereby having policies and practical solutions to improve the quality of political education in the unit.
