The "illnesses" that need to be treated were pointed out by the General Secretary in his article "Lifelong Learning".

In his article "Lifelong Learning," General Secretary To Lam frankly pointed out the "ailments" that have been hindering the effectiveness of building a spirit of lifelong learning.

In the article, General Secretary To Lam pointed out that lifelong learning has become a rule of life; it not only helps each individual recognize, adapt, and avoid falling behind in the face of the ever-changing world , but also enriches their intellect, perfects their character, overcomes difficulties and challenges, and leads to continuous progress and self-positioning in modern society.

" Furthermore, this is a crucial key to raising the intellectual level of the people and training human resources, promoting socio -economic development, and is the only path, the inevitable direction for all nations to ensure prosperous and sustainable development ," General Secretary To Lam emphasized.

From that perspective, recognizing the limitations, and even chronic problems, that have been hindering the building of a learning society with citizens who consistently demonstrate a lifelong learning spirit is absolutely essential, not only in the short term but also in the long term.

These are also the points that the General Secretary frankly pointed out in his important article "Lifelong Learning".

These are diseases with a formal name: a reluctance to learn, complacency, and a tendency to be content with existing knowledge, thereby stifling a spirit of progress, hindering the improvement of skills and knowledge, and suppressing the ability to adapt to change.

According to the General Secretary, training and professional development still prioritize quantity over quality; self-study, practical learning, and lifelong learning among cadres and Party members have not yielded the desired results; there is still a tendency to study based on trends and a craze for degrees without truly basing it on practical demands, a reluctance to face difficulties and hardships in learning, and a lack of in-depth thinking to strive for and conquer the heights of science.

This disease easily leads to another "complication" which, according to the General Secretary, is the reality of limitations in professional expertise, individualism, and the disease of relying on experience among a segment of cadres and Party members, affecting the quality of public service and the quality of serving the people; affecting the spirit of daring to think, speak, act, and take responsibility; stifling the motivation for innovation and creativity; lacking sufficient knowledge and confidence in the ability to propose and implement groundbreaking initiatives and solutions.

A mindset of complacency with existing knowledge can easily lead people to gradually become reluctant to learn, believing that learning is only temporary or belongs to a certain "segment" of life. They might think that life should be dedicated to something "important."

Frankly criticizing this mentality, General Secretary To Lam pointed out that a segment of cadres, civil servants, public employees, and workers are satisfied with the knowledge they have learned in schools and training institutions, or pursue further education to complete qualifications for promotion, without regularly researching and learning to improve their professional level, management capacity, knowledge, integration skills, and adaptability...

Along with that, a segment of the population exhibits a reluctance to learn, lacking the concept of continuous, lifelong learning, thus becoming outdated, conservative, and unable to adapt and keep pace with the rapid pace of life in the era of science and technology 4.0 and X.0.

Vietnam is developing a framework for a Lifelong Learning Law, which is expected to include regulations on whether or not one is allowed to attend school. Addressing and "treating" the obstacles hindering the building of a learning society and creating motivation for lifelong learning, as pointed out by General Secretary To Lam in his article "Lifelong Learning" in his capacity as the Party's leader, will certainly help create a new atmosphere for the cause of building a learning society.

There, learning is not just a temporary need, but a long-term, intrinsic need of every citizen, so that knowledge can shine through into problem-solving skills, skills in identifying and resolving issues, and skills in innovation. The new era of the nation and the country is placing very high demands on lifelong learning.

Lifelong learning is not limited to schooling but also includes learning from practical experience, work, personal hobbies, social activities, and community interaction. Lifelong learning helps in holistic personal development, enhancing skills and knowledge, adapting to change, and achieving success in all areas of life.

The primary goal of lifelong learning is human development, creating opportunities and guiding everyone to learn in today's open, flexible, and limitless educational environment.
