3.2.1. Contradiction between the quality requirements of Ho Chi

Minh humanist education activities for students with limitations and

inadequacies of educational subjects.

inadequacies of subjects involved in the education process, Train the

3.2.2. Contradictions between the content of the humanistic

education of Ho Chi Minh in the school and the reality of social life

The negative phenomena taking place in the social life that students

often witness as the emotion between people, the indifference between

people and nature, and society; Negative phenomena, inequality in society.

These are issues that are contrary to human love, compassion, selflessness,

tolerance in Ho Chi Minh’s humanistic thought that students need to be

taught by teachers in school. This fact has caused great difficulties in

educating Ho Chi Minh’s humanistic thought for students in universities

that need to be addressed to improve the quality of educational activities.

3.2.3. The contradiction between the desire to improve personality

with the lack of awareness training Ho Chi Minh Humanities of a large

proportion of students.

Improving the personality is not only the desire of students but also the

objective social demands of society. However, nowadays in the

universities there are still a large number of students lack of training

consciousness. The lack of training consciousness is a manifestation of the

decline of social morality, the departure from Ho Chi Minh’s humanistic

thought. This is really a question for the education of humanist ideas of Ho

Chi Minh for students in universities in our country.

country. Ho Chi Minh’s humanistic thought Education for students at

universities in Vietnam in the past few years, although some results have

been achieved in the building of new moral and ethical standards.

However, this work still has many limitations. In order to promote the

achievements and overcome the limitations in the education of Ho Chi

Minh’s humanistic thought for students at universities in our country

today, we need to educate the Ho Chi Minh’s humanistic thought for

students with long-term orientation and a synchronous system of

educational solutions, in order to step by step raise students' awareness of

training and cultivating according to Ho Chi Minh’s humanistic thought.

CONCLUSION

Our country is now entering a period of accelerated industrialization,

modernization and international integration towards the goal of

“prosperous people, strong country, democratic, equitable, and civilized

society”. This is a very difficult, hardship and long-lasting revolution. In

order for this revolutionary cause to succeed, we have to explore all of our

resources, especially the care and training of human resources, forming

new properly developed human beings for the society, in which, Ho Chi

Minh's humanistic thought is the foundation and the root for the

orientation of building those new human beings.

Students are a great social force and the future owners of the country.

In order to be worthy of that role, students should not only be qualified and

skillfull but also conscientious and responsible to the community. They

must be the people who develop the whole "virtue" and "talent " with Ho

Chi Minh's humanistic values. Human qualities in each student are formed

in a variety of contexts, especially in university environment and directly

in the contents of Ho Chi Minh’s humanistic thought. Over the past years,

the educational activities of Ho Chi Minh humanistic ideology for

university students in our country have contributed to the formation of

good qualities in students such as responsibility, sympathy, thoughtfulness,

and sharing. However, on the social level, there are still a great number of

students who are degrading their morals, pursuing pragmatic lifestyles and

individualism leading to their own insensitivity towards people and

society. Therefore, studying the education of Ho Chi Minh’s humanistic

thought for students is very necessary and urgent both in theory and practice.

In order to overcome the reality to improve the quality of Ho Chi

Minh humanistic educational activities for university students in our

country now, Ho Chi Minh's humanistic thought for students is linked with

the goal of building a "new socialist human being" and educating the

24

humanist thought of Ho Chi Minh for students to be accountable to

themselves, their families, industrialization and modernization of the

country. In addition, in the researcher’s opinion, some highly feasible

solutions in educating the Ho Chi Minh humanist ideology for students

are: First, raising awareness of the position and role of education of Ho

Chi Minh’s humanistic thought for university students in Vietnam today.;

Second, renovating the contents and methods of teaching Ho Chi Minh’s

humanistic thought to university students in our country through Ho Chi

Minh ideology courses; Third, strengthening the conditions to support

educational activities and building the cultural and humanist environment

in universities; Fourth, promoting student autonomy and self-discipline in

Ho Chi Minh's humanistic ideology; Fifth, Diversifying practical socio-

political activities, especially the "Green summer" campaigns,

"Humanitarian blood donation" for students in current universities.; Sixth,

closely combining schools, families and society in the course of education

of Ho Chi Minh’s humanistic ideology for students; Seventh, strengthening

the inspection and supervision of schools, departments and unions for the

education of Ho Chi Minh’s humanistic ideology for students.

Our country is now entering a period of rapid industrialization,

modernization and international integration which requires the generation

of Vietnamese youth in general and Vietnamese students in particular to be

professionally qualified and ethics in order to meet new requirements.

Therefore, the education and training of the generations of properly

developed students with morality - intellectuality - aesthetics,

responsibility, sympathy, thoughtfulness, and sharing, living with the ideal

and faith with the ambition to set up business for their future and the future

of the country according to Ho Chi Minh’s humanistic ideology is an

urgent issue today. That task requires the attention and coordination of all

organizations and branches, but first of all, it should be the education in

the universities in our country today.
