Building Integrity and Professional Culture in Vietnam’s Inspection Sector

Vietnam’s Government Inspectorate is fundamentally reshaping its training curricula to embed core values of integrity, discipline, and objectivity into the next generation of public inspectors, according to state media reports from June 2026. The strategic shift aligns with Resolution No. 80-NQ/TW, which places human development and cultural resources at the center of national growth.

Curriculum Redesign at the Inspectorate Cadre Training School

During an inspection work session on June 10, 2026, the Generalinspektor der Regierung, Nguyen Quoc Doan emphasized that building a modern inspection team must begin with rigorous training. According to Nguyen Quoc Doan, educational programs must link professional expertise with practical execution skills, ethical standards, and moral qualities.

The Inspectorate Cadre Training School serves as the primary incubator for these professional values. In the first six months of 2026, the institution organized 22 courses for 2,834 participants. Deputy Director Pham Thi Thu Hien noted that classroom methods move beyond passive lectures to include active discussions and real-world scenario analysis. This approach forces trainees to confront complex boundaries between legal compliance and practical flexibility.

Integrating Practical Ethics into Public Service

Instructional staff utilize practical case studies to teach students how to manage power, public responsibility, and human interactions impartially. Nguyen Thi Hong Thuy, head of professional training department 2, stated that the culture of the inspectorate is transmitted organically through classroom behaviors, teaching methods, and student analyses.

Trainees report a tangible shift in their professional mindset following these courses. Tran Thi Lien, head of general affairs at Office V, observed that the practical exercises underscore the principle that legal compliance must always accompany personal integrity. Similarly, Nghe An Chief Inspector Vu Tuan Dung stated that the curriculum provides a vital framework for officials to evaluate their daily workflows, ensuring that statutory laws are applied objectively even in complex cases.
