In recent years, efforts to care for and support a contingent of ethnic minority officials have been prioritised to strengthen local leadership and foster development in ethnic minority areas in Hoa Binh province.
According to Dinh Duy Chuyen, Deputy Head of the provincial Board for Ethnic Affairs, the ethnic minority cadres serve as a vital force in guiding communities toward prosperity and sustainable development.
A key initiative supporting this goal is Project No. 10-DA/TU issued by the provincial Party Committee's Standing Board on June 20, 2022, to develop a contingent of young, female, and ethnic minority officials for 2020-2025, with a vision to 2030.
After a rigorous selection process, 117 candidates were chosen for the project, with 12 appointed to new positions in the first year alone. Among them, Bui Thi Ngan, who was appointed as Chief of the Tan Lac District Party Committee's Office, noted that the programme provides essential training in leadership and strategic planning skills, fostering confidence in fulfilling new responsibilities.
In the 2019-2024 period, 836 public officials have been recruited, with 561 from ethnic minorities, equivalent to 67.1% of the total. The rate of ethnic minority cadres now exceeds the government's target, with minority people making up 31.23% of the province's public servants. The rates are 51.2% at the district level, and 88.37% at the commune level.
The province has also invested in advanced training for public servants working in ethnic minority areas. Among the public servants and officials who are ethnic minority people, seven are PhD degree holders, 551 master’s degree holders, and over 10,000 bachelor’s degree holders.
This focus on training and development aims to empower ethnic minority officials to lead effectively in their communities, with notable contributions from leaders like Hoang Duc Minh, who, as Vice Chairman of the Mai Chau District People’s Committee, has been recognised for his dedication to supporting local residents.
Thanks to the support of local authorities, Hoa Binh’s education system continues to achieve significant progress, contributing to meeting comprehensive reform targets and students' learning needs as well as supplying high-quality human resources for the province.
