Enhancing Political Awareness Among Vietnamese Students Today

Abstract

It is imperative to cultivate political consciousness among Vietnamese students in order to promote national progress and uphold socialist principles in the face of socio-economic changes, globalisation, and international integration. This study investigates the present condition of political awareness among Vietnamese students, the variables that impact it, and the obstacles and possibilities they encounter. The process of globalisation has led to greater exposure to a wide range of political systems and ideas. However, it presents challenges in retaining a robust socialist perspective. Factors like as socio-economic conditions, campus climate, and the quality of political education are recognised as influential, requiring a complete approach to address both internal and external effects. The study suggests giving priority to the education of political awareness, fostering revolutionary ideas, ethics, and being vigilant against external influences. The main focus is on creating a favourable campus environment that promotes democracy, provides support to students, and empowers youth organisations. Moreover, it emphasises the significance of updating the instruction of Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh's ideology by revising educational programmes, employing inventive pedagogical approaches, utilising online platforms, and employing proficient faculty members to cultivate critical thinking skills. The findings and recommendations have significant significance for policymakers, educators, and stakeholders in political education. They highlight the need to develop a generation of individuals who are politically conscious and firmly committed to their ideologies. These individuals will play a crucial role in advancing the nation while upholding its socialist foundations.
