Opening Ceremony of the Advanced Training Class on Marx-Lenin Classics and Ho Chi Minh Thought (KD25.02)

The scene of the event

Speaking at the ceremony, Assoc. Prof. Dr Duong Trung Y emphasized that studying the Marxist-Leninist classic works is both a self-motivated and mandatory task. It helps educators and learners to access the foundational theories, clarify the principles and viewpoints presented by the classical theorists, and thereby contribute to improving the quality of political theory research and teaching in particular, as well as theoretical work in general.        

The Vice President of the Academy emphasized that studying Marxist-Leninist classics and Ho Chi Minh Thought has always been a priority for the HCMA and provincial political schools. In today's context, lecturers and researchers need new approaches and ways of thinking to truly understand the core ideas of these classic works. This will help improve teaching and research quality, strengthen their political stance, and maintain the principles of Party school educators and revolutionaries.

Assoc. Prof.Dr. Duong Trung Y, Vice President of the Academy, delivered the opening speech for the class

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Duong Trung Y encouraged participants to take their learning seriously to make the study of these classic works more effective and to enhance the skills of lecturers and researchers of the Academy and political schools from provinces and centrally-governed cities, protect the Party's ideology, and counter wrong and hostile views. He urged them to be responsible and set an example as Party members, manage their time well, actively absorb the knowledge shared by lecturers, and apply it to their teaching and research. He also stressed the importance of using these lessons to defend the Party’s ideology and challenge misleading viewpoints.

The training program consists of six thematic modules focused on the foundational knowledge from 44 classic works by Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Ho Chi Minh. Additionally, there are 14 discussion sessions led by experienced professors and scholars from the HCMA.
