At the conference, representatives of units and localities raised many opinions that although the form of legal dissemination has been innovated, the effectiveness of some forms is not suitable to the nature and characteristics of specific subjects and the content that needs to be disseminated. There is still a phenomenon of legal dissemination following the movement, not going into depth, lacking substance, not close to the needs of people at the grassroots level.

The quality of human resources for implementing legal dissemination and education work is still limited, especially the team of propagandists at the commune level, in ethnic minority areas, and in remote and isolated areas. Legal dissemination and education work for specific subjects has not yet met the requirements. Therefore, the situation of law violations and crimes is still complicated, especially violations of ensuring social order and safety, traffic safety, and environmental protection.

Deploying PBGDPL suitable for each locality and each subject

Concluding the conference, comrade Le Hong Vinh said that in the first 6 months of the year, provincial departments, branches, organizations and district-level Councils have made many efforts in legal dissemination and education, creating fundamental changes in people's awareness and compliance with the law, but have not yet achieved the set goals.

To improve the effectiveness of this work in the coming time, the Vice Chairman of the province requested that units and localities need to raise awareness, strengthen responsibility, closely follow the assigned tasks in the 2019 plan to organize implementation to ensure progress; proactively propose innovative solutions and improve the effectiveness of legal dissemination work.

Selecting to carry out the task of legal dissemination with focus, key points, creativity, suitable to the issues of public concern, along with continuing to diversify the forms and methods of legal dissemination suitable to each locality and each subject, associated with strong application of information technology, promptly discovering model points, new and good ways of doing legal dissemination work in order to replicate, create effects, and improve the quality of this work.
