Caring for, nurturing and educating revolutionary ideals for the young generation

Speaking at the opening of the workshop, comrade Ngoc Kim Nam - Member of the Standing Committee, Head of the Provincial Party Committee's Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Department affirmed: During his lifetime, President Ho Chi Minh attached special importance to educating revolutionary ethics for young people: "Our young people need to be imbued with the spirit of mastering the country and must cultivate the ethics of a revolutionary. Revolutionary ethics means that no matter what position you hold, no matter what job you do, you are not afraid of difficulties, you are not afraid of hardships, you are wholeheartedly serving the common interests of the class, of the people, all for the purpose of building socialism".

Before passing away, he advised in his Will: “Our members and youth in general are good, they are enthusiastic in everything, not afraid of difficulties, and have the will to progress. The Party needs to take care of educating them in revolutionary ethics, training them to become successors in building socialism who are “both red and expert”. Nurturing the next generation of revolutionaries is a very important and necessary task.”

Caring for, nurturing, and educating the young generation about revolutionary ideals, ethics, and cultural lifestyles, the spirit of emulation in learning, training, dreams, ambitions, will, and aspirations to rise up, establish a career, and contribute to the cause of national construction and development is an extremely important task, always of concern to the Party, State, family, school, and the whole society.

In recent years, many resolutions and directives of the Party on youth work and education of the young generation have been implemented, achieving many results. The legal system and State management of youth and children have been increasingly improved. Education on Marxism-Leninism, Ho Chi Minh thought, ethics and lifestyle for the young generation has been constantly strengthened and innovated.

Through educational activities, campaigns, and patriotic emulation movements, a healthy environment has been created for the young generation to practice and mature, contributing to the formation of revolutionary ideals, noble ethics, a loyal lifestyle, law-abiding, and gradually perfecting the personality of the young generation.

Realizing the importance of educating the young generation about revolutionary ideals, ethics, and lifestyle, in recent years, Party committees at all levels, the Vietnam Fatherland Front, and socio-political organizations have organized for union members and young people to study, research, and study the Party's policies and resolutions on youth work.

Along with that, there are many innovations in the work of educating revolutionary ideals for the young generation with rich and diverse contents, such as: Education on Marxism-Leninism, Ho Chi Minh thought. Propagating the Party's guidelines and policies, the State's policies and laws; important political events of the country, important anniversaries of the Party, the Youth Union and socio-political organizations; socio-economic achievements of the province in the cause of innovation.

Improve the effectiveness of revolutionary ideal education

Currently, peace, cooperation, integration and development are still the main trends; traditional and non-traditional threats and climate change are increasingly severe. The explosion of science and technology, the strong development of the digital economy, the knowledge economy and the trend of internationalization of human resources are both opportunities and challenges for our country.

Hostile and reactionary forces are still actively seizing every opportunity to accelerate their strategy of “peaceful evolution”. The degradation of political ideology, morality, lifestyle, corruption and waste has not been pushed back, and in some places, the manifestations are even more sophisticated; the manifestations of “self-evolution” and “self-transformation” are still complicated.

These things have multi-dimensional negative impacts on the young generation and are raising concerns about fading identity, erosion of traditional cultural and ethical values, and the beliefs and ideals of young people.

"In the context of the country entering a new era, moving rapidly and strongly on the path of international integration, taking care of youth, teenagers and children is a regular, long-term and urgent task. Therefore, strengthening the education of revolutionary ideals, ethics and cultural lifestyle for the young generation has strategic significance for the revolutionary cause, leading the young generation to build Nghe An homeland to develop quickly and sustainably, contributing to the overall development of the whole country to be strong and prosperous" - Comrade Ngoc Kim Nam emphasized.
