POLITICAL AND IDEOLOGICAL EDUCATION

Political and ideological education has always been identified as a core task in Party building at UEH. With a proactive and timely approach, the UEH Party Executive Committee has comprehensively disseminated the Party’s directives and resolutions, along with State policies and laws, to all Party members, staff, and students—ensuring unity and consensus in both perception and action across all levels.

In the context of complex and multi-dimensional information flows on digital platforms, UEH remains steadfast in its role as a pioneering force in safeguarding the Party’s ideological foundation, rigorously implementing Resolution No. 35-NQ/TW and Project No. 05-ĐA/TU. Through proactive communication efforts and refutations of distorted and hostile viewpoints, the university has not only strengthened the ideological “resistance” capacity of UEHers but also contributed to upholding an academic environment that is principled, humanistic, and resilient in the face of emerging challenges.

Guided by the thought of President Ho Chi Minh, the UEH Party Executive Committee has effectively promoted the learning and emulation of his ideology, morality, and lifestyle through practical initiatives closely aligned with the professional duties of each individual and unit. Thematic learning campaigns for the entire term have been concretized annually, in harmony with the development trajectory of Ho Chi Minh City and the national education sector. The recognition of exemplary collectives and individuals not only honors their contributions but also serves as a powerful motivation to spread positive values and foster a strong sense of responsibility and aspiration for service across the UEH community.

PARTY ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Party organizational development at UEH is regarded as a pivotal task, implemented in a systematic and regulated manner to ensure the university’s sustainable development. The quality of cell-level Party meetings has been continuously improved through renewed formats that closely align with professional responsibilities, thereby enhancing the leadership capacity and combat strength of Party organizations, as well as the pioneering and exemplary spirit of each Party member.

Each year, the processes of self-criticism, criticism, and the evaluation of Party organizations and members are carried out with seriousness, objectivity, and in close connection with the effectiveness of political tasks. Through this process, the UEH Party Committee is able to promptly identify strengths, frankly acknowledge limitations, and propose appropriate remedial solutions—thereby reinforcing Party building across political, ideological, organizational, and ethical dimensions. These efforts contribute significantly to enhancing the leadership and combat capacity of the Party structure throughout the institution.

Key milestones in Party organization during the recent term include the successful organization of the UEH Party Congress for the 2020–2025 term, the Midterm Review Conference on the implementation of the 2020–2025 Party Congress Resolution, and the Congress of grassroots and sub-level Party branches for the 2022–2025 and 2025–2027 terms. These events have helped define the strategic orientation and development goals of the entire Party Organization in the new phase of institutional growth. In addition, the Annual UEH Party Committee Conference has become a key political forum for comprehensively reviewing Party building efforts while setting forth practical goals aligned with reform and integration imperatives.

Throughout its development, Party building at UEH has been implemented with rigor, closely tied to real-life work, learning, and professional development. It is reflected through meaningful and politically significant activities such as the Party Admission Ceremony—marking the political maturity of the next generation—and the Party Membership Badge Conferment Ceremony, which honors the long-standing dedication of veteran Party members. Each of these activities represents a continuation of tradition, affirming the leadership role and disseminating the core values of the Communist Party within a modern, innovative academic environment.

All of these efforts have contributed to shaping a unified, resilient, and strong UEH Party Organization - where political and ideological work is firmly grounded, where Party organization is effectively governed, and where each Party member acts as a proactive force in the collective effort to build UEH into a Multidisciplinary and Sustainable University.

The UEH Party Committee actively and extensively communicates the rights and responsibilities associated with democratic participation, while simultaneously promoting the exemplary and pioneering roles of its leadership, administrative personnel, and Party members. This work contributes to fostering a culture of thrift, combating wastefulness, and building strong consensus within the UEHer community.

With a learner-centered approach, UEH has advanced administrative reform by implementing a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system, a one-stop service model, and comprehensive digital transformation of administrative procedures. The university upholds the spirit of democratic dialogue, ensuring transparency, accountability, and the protection of legitimate rights and interests of all staff, faculty, and students. Moreover, UEH actively cultivates a “Ho Chi Minh cultural space,” inspiring core values and nurturing solidarity and creativity across its academic and professional communities.

Under the close leadership of the Party Committee, UEH's mass organizations—including the Labor Union, Veterans Association, Youth Union, and Student Association—have successfully conducted their congresses in alignment with Party directives. These organizations have also implemented numerous meaningful initiatives that enhance the material and spiritual well-being of faculty and staff while safeguarding their legal rights.

These accolades serve as compelling evidence of the comprehensive growth and indispensable role of UEH’s mass organizations in the university’s ongoing development and success.

Under the resolute and visionary leadership of the UEH Party Committee, the developmental directions and strategic goals articulated in the Resolution of the 2020–2025 Party Congress have been swiftly operationalized and effectively implemented, yielding remarkable achievements. These outcomes have not only affirmed UEH's pioneering role in the national higher education landscape but have also contributed significantly to the training of high-quality human resources, aligning with the imperatives of a knowledge-based economy and global integration.
