INTRODUCTION
1. Urgency of the topic
During the process of leading and training the Vietnam People's Army, President Ho Chi Minh always paid attention to political theory education for cadres and soldiers. His views on ideology and theory and his concern have contributed to improving the theoretical level, political qualities, ethics, and lifestyle of cadres, thereby providing practical orientation for the Party's work and political work in the army today. The building and striving to be worthy of the quality of "Uncle Ho's soldiers" further demonstrates the sustainable affirmation of Ho Chi Minh's thought on army building in general and political theory education in the army in particular. Building a politically strong Vietnam People's Army is the top principle that our Party has consistently implemented throughout more than 70 years of building, fighting and growing the Army, creating the tradition of "Our Army is loyal to the Party, filial to the people, ready to fight and sacrifice for the independence and freedom of the Fatherland, for socialism. Every task is completed, every difficulty is overcome, every enemy is defeated" [93, p.435].
In the current context, facing the sabotage of hostile forces aiming to eliminate the leadership role of the Party, the plot to "depoliticize" the army..., especially the impact of the 4.0 industrial revolution has been and is taking place more and more strongly, creating advantages and difficulties in education in general and political theory education in particular. Therefore, political theory education has become an important and indispensable part of education and training at military officer schools today.
The military officer schools in the Vietnam People's Army are the cradle for training and providing platoon-level command and staff officers for the entire army, and have an important position and role in training human resources for the army and the country. In recent years, the work of political theory education for students of military officer schools has had many innovations in content, programs and methods of political theory education. The team of political theory lecturers has closely followed the issues arising in social and military practice, and has deepened theoretical issues to make students clearly aware of the position and role of studying political theory in the school's training program. However, besides the achieved results, the work of political theory education still has limitations in many aspects that affect the quality of education and training, reducing the quality of students when they graduate.
Currently, there have been many research works related to political theory education in general and in military academies and schools in particular, but there has not been any in-depth research work on political theory education in the block of special service officer schools from the perspective of political science. For the above reasons, the author chose the topic "Political theory education in current service officer schools according to Ho Chi Minh's thought" as his doctoral thesis.

One is,The school always receives attention, leadership and direction from the Central Military Party Committee, the Ministry of National Defense and support and favorable conditions in all aspects from functional agencies.
Two isThe Party Committee and the Board of Directors regularly pay attention to and identify education and training, including the task of educating political ideology, as the central political task of the school.
Three isThe Party Committee and the School Board have promptly had policies and measures to lead and direct educational and training activities in line with task requirements.
Four isThe school has been organizationally strengthened, built high solidarity and unity, closely coordinated, resolutely and promptly overcome limitations and weaknesses; actively innovated and improved quality in all aspects.
Five is, leaders and commanders of the Faculty of Political Science have thoroughly grasped and strictly implemented the School's Directives and Resolutions on Political Science education.
Six is, a team of lecturers with a high sense of responsibility and pedagogical capacity to meet teaching requirements.
Seven is, student management units have made many efforts in educating and building motivation, self-awareness, responsibility and organizing and managing to maintain students' learning.
3.1.2. Limitations and causes
3.1.2.1. Limitations
- Firstly, about the awareness of political education according to Ho Chi Minh's ideology
- Second, about the content, program and methods of LLCT education
- Third, documents and facilities for teaching LLCT
- Fourth, on the organization and management of political theory education
3.1.2.2. Causes of limitations
One is, input quality of some trainees is still low; motivation, attitude, responsibility for learning, training and learning methods of some trainees are still limited. The quality and effectiveness of management and operation of education and training activities, including LLCT education, are still limited; there are inappropriate training contents and programs.
Two is, the staff and lecturers of LLCT are still lacking in quantity, some are limited in qualifications, capacity, pedagogical methods, practical experience, and have structural shortcomings; measures to overcome difficulties in the teaching staff are not comprehensive and consistent. The training of new lecturers by faculty staff and department heads is not regular and comprehensive..The initiative of lecturers in self-study and research is still limited; the sense of responsibility of each lecturer sometimes does not really invest time and effort to improve the quality of teaching and scientific research.
Three is, the conditions of facilities, technical means, documents, and textbooks serving the task of educating military theory are still facing many difficulties, not meeting the requirements in both quantity and quality; ensuring places to eat, stay, live, and work for cadres, lecturers, workers, students, and soldiers is still facing many difficulties and shortages.

CONCLUDE
President Ho Chi Minh, beloved leader of the nation, great teacher of the Vietnamese revolution. Throughout his life of active and rich revolutionary activities, he made great contributions in both theory and practice, bringing success to the Vietnamese revolution.
As the founder and trainer of our Party, President Ho Chi Minh always paid attention to and spent a lot of time on the work of educating political theory, aiming to improve the theoretical level and political awareness of cadres, party members and people. As the creator, laying the first brick to build a solid foundation for the work of educating political theory and he himself was the first lecturer of political theory of the Party, he directly continued to build the program, compile documents and directly conduct lectures with exemplary methods full of creativity in both method and style. His guiding ideology and implementation methods have become the principles, mottos, methods and principles of the work of educating political theory today.
Ho Chi Minh's thought on political theory education today is still the foundation and guideline for political theory training. President Ho Chi Minh's activities in the field of political theory education are extremely important. He contributed to improving the general theoretical level of the entire Party; consolidating the viewpoints, stances and communist ideals, thinking ability and practical working capacity of the Party's cadres and members.
The work of educating military theory in military officer schools in recent years has achieved many important achievements, thereby contributing to the successful implementation of the political tasks assigned by the army, contributing to firmly protecting the Fatherland in the face of complicated developments in the world and regional situations. However, in the process of applying Ho Chi Minh's thought in educating military theory for students, there are still certain limitations and inadequacies in terms of content, form and method of teaching military theory. Regarding teaching methods, there is still a heavy emphasis on presentations and one-way knowledge transfer. Learners have few opportunities to exchange and discuss. The effectiveness of applying modern means to teaching is not high, and the initiative, creativity and initiative of learners have not been promoted. The form of LLCT education is not diverse. The investment in modern technical means in teaching LLCT subjects has not received due attention. From the above limitations and shortcomings, the effectiveness of applying LLCT knowledge of students when they graduate to practical situations in their units and lives is not high.
Currently, in the face of the political ideological degradation of a number of students (disdain for theory, fear of learning theory, perfunctory learning, coping learning, learning for the sake of it...) and the increasingly high new requirements of building a strong and comprehensive army, in which political building is the central task, the Central Military Party Committee has set out the requirement of strengthening education in Marxist-Leninist theory, Ho Chi Minh thought, the Party's viewpoints and guidelines, the State's policies and laws, and military regulations, and first of all, innovating the content and methods, and improving the quality of political theory education in the entire army. Every soldier must study and improve his/her political theory level, considering this one of the urgent tasks of Party building. More than ever, Ho Chi Minh's thought on political theory education needs to be deeply and thoroughly understood and creatively applied to suit the actual situation.
Based on the research, clarifying the specificity of military theory education in military officer schools, pointing out the specific environmental factors related to military theory education and requirements for military theory education, forecasting the factors affecting military theory education... in order to improve the effectiveness of military theory teaching and learning in the coming time. The proposed solutions are synchronous, complementary and supportive of each other to contribute to supplementing high-quality human resources to serve the building of a strong army, making an important contribution to protecting the country today.
Carrying out the work of political theory education according to Ho Chi Minh's thought in military officer schools at present and in the coming years is still a very important task. Therefore, innovation and proper attention to this work will be the condition for having a strong contingent of cadres and party members in the army, completing the important historical mission assigned by the country, the nation and the army, creating a great driving force for the country's socio-economic development, contributing to the successful implementation of the goal: rich people, strong country, democracy, fairness and civilization.
To ensure the effective implementation of political theory education according to Ho Chi Minh's thought in military officer schools today, each cadre, lecturer and staff member needs to thoroughly grasp Ho Chi Minh's important theses on political theory education and apply them correctly and creatively in all stages of the teaching and learning process at school; it is necessary to continue to innovate the content and curriculum in a practical and specific direction on the basis of firmly maintaining the foundation of Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh's thought, firmly upholding the goal of national independence associated with socialism, promoting combativeness, and enhancing practicality in political theory education.
