Dr. Bui Huy Tung, Director of the Refresher Training Management Department, delivering remarks at the ceremony.
In his opening speech for the training course, Dr. Bui Hung Tung, Director of the Refresher Training Management Department, emphasized that the training of public officials has always been a concern of the Party and State of Viet Nam, with practical regulations and policies being issued. Implementing the functions and tasks assigned by the Government and the Prime Minister, over the past many years, NAPA has proactively organized many training courses for various public leaders and managers. NAPA is gradually developing a model for organizing learning and designing training programs aimed at fostering self-study, with a learner-centered approach. The focus is shifting from teaching problem-solving methods to enhancing learners’ capacity to identify and choose the right problems to solve.
The training program includes updates and additions to knowledge and a clear understanding of the position, responsibilities, duties, and requirements for civil servants, along with methodological management skills and the effective application of these skills in practical work. The course also aims to help trainees fully and effectively utilize management tools, resources, and assets within their organizations to provide informed recommendations to higher authorities for the successful completion of assigned tasks.
Dr. Bui Huy Tung also expressed his hope that the course trainees would be proactive and engaged during the course to ensure high-quality results.
Throughout the course, trainees will be introduced to three modules on general knowledge, five modules on basic leadership and management skills at the ministerial department-level, and two report modules on policy impact analysis and assessment, as well as smart tools in state governance, public financial management, and public financial control. The presentations will be delivered by associate professors, PhDs, senior lecturers from NAPA, and invited experts from outside NAPA.
