Nam Dan District is one of the bright spots in Party development work in schools. From 2020 to 2022, the whole district admitted 184 student party members, including 22 female party members, 26 party members who are secretaries and deputy secretaries of the Youth Union branches, 44 party members who are excellent students at the provincial level, 114 party members who are excellent students with excellent achievements in studying and movement activities. According to Mr. Dang Hong Thang - Deputy Head of the Organizing Committee of Nam Dan District Party Committee, the reason why the number of student party members admitted to the Party in the district is always higher the following year than the previous year is because the Party Committees of schools are always proactive in developing training plans and creating sources for developing party members. Typically, Kim Lien High School, from 2021 to now, has had 53 students admitted to the Party.
Teacher Duong Van Son - Principal of Kim Lien High School said: Right from grade 10, the school's Party Committee has attached importance to the work of discovering and nurturing core members in the learning and training movement. Special priority is given to class cadres and union cadres with good academic achievements and outstanding movement activities; students who have won prizes in the annual provincial excellent student competitions. In 2023, the first phase of the school organized the admission of 3 outstanding masses who were students.
In Vinh city, from 2020 to 2022, the Party Committees and Party cells of schools under the City Party Committee admitted 142 students and 221 pupils to the Party (including 2 religious students, 94 students who are Youth Union officials, 122 excellent students at the provincial, national and international levels). To achieve this result, every year, the Party Committees and Boards of Directors of schools organize meetings and exchanges with new students, including introducing the criteria and regulations for Party admission. At the same time, they direct the Youth Union - Association organizations, and professional groups to strengthen political and ideological education, promote scientific research activities, and volunteer for community life to create an environment for students to practice and contribute.
The Vinh City Party Committee's Organizing Committee has also proactively coordinated with Party cells and Party chapters of high schools to review outstanding people who have attended Party sympathy classes, are qualified but are not old enough to be admitted in grade 12 (calculated by month), then worked with the Party committees of the wards and communes where they reside to create conditions for students to be monitored and admitted to the Party locally, before enrolling in universities and colleges.
Thanks to that, every year, it has created conditions for dozens of outstanding students to soon join the Party ranks. The good news is that not only schools in the city center but also some special schools such as the Provincial Boarding Ethnic High School also take care of the work of developing the Party for students. Teacher Nguyen Thi Kieu Hoa - Principal of the Provincial Boarding Ethnic High School said: The students at the school come from remote areas, and are children of ethnic minorities, so they have limitations in communication and self-expression. Therefore, when welcoming them to school, the school has paid attention to them to have the best possible training and learning environment. Thanks to that, every year the school develops Party members as students; in 2022, 10 students were admitted to the school, in 2023, the school made admission records for 10 students. Through monitoring, many students later made good efforts in universities and colleges".
Reality shows that wherever the Party Committee focuses on training and creating resources, the Party development work there achieves good results. Typically, at Thanh Chuong 1 High School, from 2020 to 2022, 68 student Party members were admitted, including 1 Catholic student. “From the moment the students entered the school, through the Youth Union and homeroom teachers, we fully informed the criteria for considering Party admission at the school so that students have goals to strive for. In addition, the school also organizes movement activities, club activities, political activities... to create an environment for students to practice and promote their own abilities. In 2023, the school expects to complete the target of admitting 35 students to the Party,” said teacher Nguyen Trieu Tien - Principal of Thanh Chuong 1 High School.
Currently, 100% of schools in Nghe An (including 89 high schools; 21 continuing education centers; 19 vocational education centers; 11 universities and colleges) have grassroots Party organizations, including 2 Party committees assigned with authority at the grassroots level, 23 grassroots Party committees, 114 grassroots Party cells, 8 departmental Party committees, and 176 Party cells directly under the grassroots Party committees. Along with the process of innovation and socio-economic development, the Party Committee and all levels and sectors in the province always pay special attention to Party development work in schools.
According to the assessment of the Nghe An Provincial Party Committee's Organizing Committee: The number of Party members admitted to the Party every year has increased, the structure has many positive changes, female party members account for a fairly high proportion (61%); most of them are students with high achievements in studying and scientific research (56.9%); exemplary union and association cadres (accounting for 33.5%); Party members admitted to the Party are young (from 18 to 22 years old). This is an important component to supplement the Party with high-quality young party members.
Speaking at the forum "Improving the quality of Party development work among students" recently chaired by the Central Youth Union, in coordination with the Central Organizing Committee and Nghe An Provincial Party Committee, comrade Hoang Nghia Hieu - Deputy Secretary of Nghe An Provincial Party Committee affirmed: Party development work in schools has always been actively implemented by all levels and sectors with many solutions to both develop quantity and ensure quality. Every year, the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee issues documents to district, city, town Party Committees, and affiliated Party Committees to direct and urge the implementation of the target of admitting new Party members. At the same time, direct school Party Committees to promote the emulation movement of good teaching, good learning; pay attention to promoting the activities of the Youth Union and the school youth movement, thereby discovering, nurturing and admitting excellent students who meet the conditions and standards to join the Party...
Vinh University is a gathering place for high-quality human resources including 1,479 specialized high school students, 17,783 full-time students, 1,593 graduate students, and 125 researchers. Over the years, along with leading the implementation of professional tasks, the school's Party Committee has always cared for the development of party members among students. Currently, the school has 10 student and trainee party cells under the department party committee; 374 party members are students, graduate students, and researchers out of a total of 1,069 party members.
Mr. Nguyen Hong Soa - Head of Student Political Affairs Department (Vinh University) said: The Party Committee of the University has established student party cells under the department party committee to do a good job of developing the Party. It requires assigning young lecturers or student management assistants to directly act as secretaries of student party cells. In addition, the Standing Committee of the University Party Committee has specified the standards and conditions for admitting party members to suit the reality of the University in order to improve the quality of party members. In addition to the standards prescribed by the Party Charter, students admitted to the Party must always comply with the regulations and rules of the unit and the University; have a core role in the youth union branches and classes; actively participate in union and social work. In addition, at the time of admission consideration, students must have an average academic score of 8.0 or higher, and have at least 1 certificate of merit from the School level or higher. For students, they must be classified as excellent by the School Youth Union and Student Association, have good academic results from the beginning of the course up to the time of consideration (equivalent to 2.9 points/4 points for pedagogy and 2.7 points/4 points for engineering) and be awarded a certificate of merit from the school level or higher. For graduate students, only those who have a continuous learning process from undergraduate to postgraduate level at the School will be considered for admission. If the applicant for Party membership is an ethnic minority, religious person or other special case, the School Party Committee Standing Committee will consider and decide on admission to the Party.
The above standards help students who are Youth Union and Association officials have more opportunities to strive to join the Party, and conversely, students who study well but do not actively participate in Youth Union and Association movements and social activities will have fewer opportunities. On the other hand, to ensure the quality of Party members, in addition to assigning official Party members to accompany, train and boldly assign tasks, create conditions for students who have studied Party sympathy to demonstrate their abilities and qualities in the process of striving. Periodically, student Party cells review and remove from the list of unqualified Party sympathizers. Thanks to synchronous solutions, in the period of 2020 - 2022, Vinh University Party Committee admitted 391 Party members, including 29 students and 328 university students.
Similarly, Vinh Medical University is also an address that takes care of the work of creating a source of young party members. Dr. Phan Quoc Hoi - Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of the school said: Up to now, the school has more than 100 party members who are students. To be able to join the party, students must meet strict criteria such as excellent academic performance, certificates of merit in union activities and volunteer movements. Therefore, the motivation and competition for students in studying and training are very high. Young party member Nguyen Duy Thanh - from Nam Dinh, a student of General Medicine (Vinh Medical University) shared: "Being able to join the Party is not only an important step to create a foundation for students in the future. Therefore, right from the time I entered the school, I set a goal of striving to join the Party. From the first year to the fifth year, in the position of Secretary of the Youth Union, I have always been exemplary, volunteering in studying and other activities. My efforts have been recognized by the Party organization".
