But benefits alone are not enough. Benefits must be linked to democracy, and democracy will ensure sustainable benefits.

Prof. Dr. Phung Huu Phu added that in the context of science and technology changing every day, the School needs to quickly apply science and technology to its activities, modernize information, and scientificize school management activities that need to be focused on.

In addition to finding and promoting motivations, the School needs to focus on the human resources: Building in each party member, lecturer, and student the spirit of a "true patriot". History has proven that only the spirit of true patriotism can help our nation overcome difficulties and hardships. As a school with a leading position in the field of social sciences and humanities in the country, the School needs to spread the model of true patriotism education.
