enhanced the positiveness and activeness of students; still heavy in theory,
lacking evidence in real life or relating to the practice of police work.

officials, party members and people, especially for young people who
exhibit a moral standard deviant perception.

Secondly, bureaucracy, corruption, wastefulness are plaguing for
society, and affect daily and hourly for students.

contrary to the contents of Ho Chi Minh ideology about ethics.
3.4.2. The contradiction between Ho Chi Minh ideology education
requirements on ethics and limitations in education for People's Police

between homeroom teachers, faculty members, subjects and other
organizations in the school has not been developed to implement Ho Chi
Minh ideology on ethics in ethical education for student.
Fifthly, the structure of the program for educating Ho Chi Minh
ideology on ethics in schools is not commensurate with the moral education

4.1.1. Educating Ho Chi Minh ideology on morality must motivate
the leadership, direction and orientation of the Party Committee and the
Board of Directors of the People's Police University.
Firstly, educating Ho Chi Minh ideology about ethics must grasp
thoroughly the serious implementation of the resolution, Party directives,
Ministry of Public Security's plans, action plans on ethical education for

forming and developing student ethical standards.
4.1.3. Educating Ho Chi Minh ideology on ethics for students of the
People's Police University must have a close association between the

ethics for students, there must be a close combination between school

perform well the responsibility of setting an example. The set an example
must first be done from the school leaders, the unit leaders to the staff,
lecturers follow the principle that the person who holds the high position
and the important position, especially the leader, must be very exemplary.
This must be considered as the most important and most critical solution in
educating Ho Chi Minh ideology about morality for students. The lack of
training and cultivation, especially the retrograde and morality of a part of
officials, lecturers will greatly influence the ethical behavior, lifestyle, and
sense of discipline of students.
