(Baonghean) -Along with the heroic values ​​of the history of the Vietnamese Revolution and the history of the Nghe An Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial Political School plays an extremely important role, with strategic significance. The 70-year history of the school has demonstrated that special importance.

Class at Provincial Political School.

During his lifetime, our beloved Uncle Ho taught: “Cadres are the root of all work. The success or failure of a work depends on good or bad cadres. Therefore, training cadres is the root work of the Party.”

Therefore, from the first days when the independence of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam was just established, amidst many difficulties, facing the life-and-death challenges of external and internal enemies, the school's work of training cadres also began with the first steps in the journey of carrying out the "original" work of the Party.

November 18, 1946 became an important historical milestone of the school when the first training class for key cadres of the province was organized after the 4th Nghe An Provincial Congress.

Since its establishment, Nghe An Party School had to evacuate and move to many localities. The school's facilities are limited, everything depends on the people; the cadres go to school mainly on their own and partly mobilize people's contributions.

Despite the extremely difficult and deprived circumstances, classes are still opened continuously, with an increasing number of students. Every year, thousands of key cadres of the grassroots and agencies and units in the province are trained and fostered at the school. The number of cadres who have studied at the school have become the core force in localities and units, many of whom have matured and held important positions in the Central Party, Government, ministries, branches and provinces, contributing to the successful implementation of the tasks set by the Party in each period.

During 70 years of construction and development, under the leadership and direction of the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial People's Committee; the direction, guidance and coordination of the academies; the cooperation and assistance of provincial departments, branches and sectors and district-level Party Committees and authorities, especially the regular coordination of district-level political training centers; the Provincial Political School has overcome all difficulties to successfully complete assigned political tasks, the school's activities have many positive changes and achieved many achievements.

Every year, in coordination with provincial departments, branches, sectors and organizations, scientific seminars are organized, research topics are conducted to exploit theoretical values, methods and experiences, solve practical problems to serve teaching, research and contribute to the construction and socio-economic development of localities.
