Through knowledge testing, presentations, and handling practical situations, the contest creates conditions for the contingent of Party cell secretaries to exchange, learn, and share experiences, progressively elevating their capacities in leadership, administration, organizing Party cell meetings, and bringing Party resolutions to life.

More than a week after excellently outperforming 9 other candidates to win First Prize in the 1st Excellent Party Cell Secretary Contest of 2026 organized by the Mường Nhé commune Party Committee, Thào A Trắng, Secretary of the Nậm Pố 3 village Party Cell, still retains vivid impressions of the competition. To him, the contest was an opportunity to evaluate his knowledge, capacity, and professional skills, and to recognize prevailing limitations in his leadership and administration of Party cell activities.

Navigating the introduction, multiple-choice, presentation, and situational handling segments, the Secretary of the Nậm Pố 3 village Party Cell had the chance to systematize his knowledge regarding Party building work, the Party Charter, and the Party’s regulations and guidelines; while concurrently honing his capacity to apply theory to practice.

Trắng shared: “The contest provided me with an added opportunity to demonstrate my political mettle, and to exchange and learn good practices and practical experiences from fellow Party cell secretaries. I will apply the knowledge and skills accumulated from the contest to reality, contributing to innovating leadership methods, elevating meeting quality, and promoting the Party cell’s role in the residential area.”

Participating in the excellent Party cell secretary and excellent communicator contest in Mường Chà commune in 2026, teacher Trần Đăng Khoa, Party Cell Secretary and Principal of Chà Nưa Primary Ethnic Semi-Boarding School, brought practical experiences from leading a school Party cell with nearly 30 members. With 24 years of Party membership, navigating through work, training, and dedication, teacher Khoa has always determined to firmly uphold political qualities, a sense of responsibility, and promote the pioneering, exemplary role of a Party member - especially the responsibility of a leader.

Joining the contest, teacher Khoa chose the topic of applying Regulation No.144-QĐ/TW on the revolutionary ethical standards of cadres and Party members in the new phase to the practical activities of the Party cell. Drawing from school realities, Khoa analyzed the standards regarding the sense of responsibility of a teacher, Party member, and Party cell secretary. Crucially, the head of the Party cell must take the lead in executing tasks, generating motivation for Party members to follow suit.

Teacher Khoa affirmed: The quality of Party building work in schools must be evaluated precisely by the results of executing professional tasks, and the shifts in the sense of responsibility and exemplary consciousness of every Party member. When ethical standards are substantiated through daily work, the Party cell’s resolution will yield verifiable results.

Stemming from the requirement to tie Party building work to practical tasks, teacher Thào A Sình, Secretary of the Party Cell of Branch Campus 1, Sín Chải Primary Ethnic Semi-Boarding School, registered for the 1st Sín Chải commune Excellent Party Cell Secretary Contest in 2026 with the desire to foster added knowledge, skills, and professional operations for Party work. With 3 years in charge of Party work, teacher Sình has made numerous contributions to building the Party cell and elevating the school’s operational quality. Participating in the excellent Party cell secretary contest, teacher Sình selected the theme “Solutions to elevate the quality of the Party cell’s inspection and supervision work.”

“Inspection and supervision are vital methods to maintain the Party’s discipline and order. Therefore, I chose this theme stemming from practical requirements, aiming to promptly detect and rectify limitations and shortcomings right from the Party cell. Specifically, this contest provided me the opportunity to learn, exchange experiences, and approach practical situations for more flexible, effective application in leadership and direction work,” teacher Sình shared.

The 1st Sín Chải commune Excellent Party Cell Secretary Contest of 2026 took place over 2 days (November 5 - 6), drawing 21 candidates. With serious preparation, a confident spirit, and responsibility, many candidates clearly demonstrated their capacities in leadership, administration, communication, and persuasion skills, as well as the ability to resolve issues emerging from practical work at the Party cell.

Đoàn Xuân Trường, Permanent Deputy Secretary of the Sín Chải commune Party Committee and Head of the Contest Organizing Committee, emphasized: The contest contributes to elevating the knowledge, skills, and professional operations of the contingent of Party cell secretaries and deputy secretaries regarding Party building work in the new phase. Concurrently, it creates an opportunity for grassroots cadres to exchange, learn, and share theoretical and practical experiences, meeting task requirements in the new situation.

Recently, the movement to foster and elevate the capacity of Party cell secretaries through contests has been deployed by many localities in the province. The contests adhered closely to the Party cell’s mandates, focusing on practical issues such as: Principles of Party organization and meetings; inspection, supervision, and management of Party members; mass communication and mobilization; and resolving emerging issues at the grassroots. Combining knowledge testing with presentations and situational handling helps evaluate the capacity of Party cell leaders more comprehensively.

Particularly, organizing the contest tied to the requirement of elevating the leadership capacity and combativeness of grassroots Party organizations - pursuant to Resolution No.07-NQ/TU by the Executive Board of the provincial Party Committee on elevating the leadership capacity and combativeness of grassroots Party organizations for the 2026 - 2030 period - contributes to building a contingent of cadres and Party members meeting task requirements in the new situation.

From these contests, many Party cell secretaries secure added knowledge and skills to continue innovating leadership and administrative methods; becoming the nucleus of the Party, building solidarity blocs, promoting exemplary roles, and bringing resolutions to life.
