education and training for high- level military cadres, defense and
security knowledge for senior officials of the Communist Party and
the State of Vietnam, Concurrently, It is also a place of military
scientific research and international training cooperation, further
training for senior military officers. Over past 30 years, nearly
ten thousands of important persons of the Vietnam Peoples Army, the
Communist Party, the State of Vietnam at the provincial and central

- Bringing into full play achievements of education and training,
we are of opinion that the core issue with a breakthrough laid here
is curriculum development and training methods with the aim of
improving the quality of training, creating fighting skill and
spirit, leading and commanding competence and qualifications for
trainees at operational and strategic level satisfying new
developments of the country, region and the world, especially in
current complex security environment. To deal with this issue, we
have to identify training objective firstly, then develop curricula
based on training objective and consider and choose suitable
teaching methodology.
- Slide 6
- I. Training demand analysis (training objective definition).
NDA of Vietnam finds out its training objective on the foundation
of analysis and evaluations of two strategic tasks: building and
defending the Fatherland, on the basis of impacts of the economic
globalization, of regional and international environment as well as
other related international issues. At the same time, on the sound
footing of assessment for quality of the contingent of senior
military officers and civilian officials. I. Training demand

- Firstly, senior military and civilian cadres will be taught
comprehensive knowledge on matters related to politics, economics,
society, technology, defense and security and international
relationship etc in accordance with guidelines, policy of the Party
and State of Vietnam, forming foundation for learners to get a firm
political spirit, competence, qualifications in the
responsibilities of the leadership at operational and strategic
level in coping with sensitively political, economic, defense and
security and international relations issues.

- Secondly, along with comprehensive knowledge, specialized
knowledge about each position of military and civilian cadres is
also required. In fact, this is knowledge of specific purposes. For
example, military students are mainly trained the role of
leadership, operational command, finding solutions for strategic
problems. Instructors, teachers and scientific researchers will
focus on studying teaching methodology, defense operational
research and military strategic problems. However, senior civilians
got specialized knowledge from universities, will be further
provided knowledge of defense and security, defense policies,
combination between economy and defense, security and external
relations.

- Thirdly, the nature of macroscopic of a leader, commander at
operational and strategic requires students a visionary and
strategic thought relying on scientific foundation to apply to the
leadership, command, policy making for strategic issues of defense,
security, economic development and external affairs policy,
especially in resolving sensitive security issues relating to the
countrys interest and international relations.

revolution, problems of economic globalization, of current security
problems request strategic and operational people to be equipped
with a scientific working lifestyle and methods, a great resolution
and clear-headedness in leading and commanding responsibilities as
well as solving strategic issues at macroscopic level in homeland
and other regional and international related matters.
