stability of development plans and policies, perfecting the system of legal and regulatory document as well as managing the contingent of lectures and educational administrators Besides, the inspection and examination should be regularly continuous to have solutions to strengthen state management On the basis of the theoretical system and practice of state management of higher education in the form of part- time training at academies under the Ministry of Public Security, the dissertation has analyzed specifically the practice of state management according to its functions of higher education in general and higher education in the form of part- time training at academies under the Ministry of Public Security in particular and at the same time pointed out achievements, results, shortcoming, limitations and reasons Based on such analysis as well as the orientation of higher education development in the form of part- time training inside and outside People’s public security sector, the dissertation proposes opinions and solutions to enhance the state management of higher education in the form of part- time training at academies under the Ministry of Public Security and groups them into groups of solutions with 13 specific ones, including: Completing development plans and policies for part- time training; Completing policies, system of legal and regulatory documents, statutes and regulations on higher education in the form of part- time training; organizing machinery; organizing and directing the building of a contingent of lecturers, educational managers and academic advisors; inspecting and examining higher education in the form of part- time training at academies under the Ministry of Public Security Furthermore, the dissertation also reveals some in-depth issues that need to be further studied next time, such as: Ensuring quality of higher education in the form of part- time training in the sector of people’s public security; Managing training program system and minimum output standards; Building a quality assessment scale of lecturers participating in part- time training in the sector People’s Public Security; Developing a quality assessment scale of educational managers at institutions under the Ministry of Public Security; Building a rating scale for a university training program in People's Public Security Institutions; Developing higher education in the model of part- time training in the era of technology 4.0, etc In the future, if such topics continue to be studied, they will be added to the theoretical system as well as useful practical directions for the application of the development of higher education in the form of part- time training at academies under the Ministry of Public Security INTRODUCTION The need of the study In the process of economic, social and scientific development of each country, the position and role of education and training in general and higher education in particular have been increasingly important Unlike general education, higher education provides well- qualified human resources for production to produce material and spiritual wealth for the society Nowadays, higher education in developed countries is shifting from elite small-scale education to mass education with larger scope In Vietnam, together with the development and international integration with the idea of mass education development is the policy of "perfecting the national education system towards an open education system, lifelong learning and building a learning society” [145] of our Party and State Accordingly, our higher education in recent years has also grown in terms of the number of educational institutions, the size and form of training, especially part- time training in the national education system For universities and academies in the Public Security sector, the need to train and improve the qualifications of cadres and police to meet the task of protecting national security and maintaining social safety and order is quite necessary with great emphasis put on the building and developing the people’s police force fast and strongly both in its quantity and quality Every year, the enrollment targets of universities, colleges, and professional secondary schools has increased significantly; the recruitment of external people as well as the number of police on duty to continue work for a long time also keep a rise This shows the great demand for the training in public security sector, including the need for part- time training As a result, the enrollment quota for part- time training in the 2015-2016 academic years is the highest with 17,824 students - 2.8 times higher than the previous two years It can be seen that part- time training at academies under the Ministry of Public Security has recently achieved remarkable success such as rapid increase in training scale, continuous improvement and update of new and modern training programs, advanced facilities and well- qualified lecturers with new teaching methods Moreover, the training quality has been gradually enhanced, meeting the needs of training and fostering in the sector However, this form of training is still under some limitations like unequal quality of teaching staff; asynchronous technical facilities and teaching equipment or less convincing training quality (both input and output) [41] To deal with the situation, one of the most mentioned issues in the development of higher education in the form of part- time training is the state management of higher education in the form of 24 part- time training Only through the state management can the national policies and guidelines on higher education development in the form of part- time training be implemented in order to contribute to the development of education and training in general, meeting the needs of the people and fulfilling the objectives of building a learning society of the state State management in general and state management of part- time training in particular are considered the key to successfully implement educational and training activities, including those in part- time training Therefore, one of the main reasons for the limitations of higher education in the form of parttime training in educational institutions under the Ministry of Public Security is that there exist some shortcomings and gaps in the state management of this type of training This directly affects the quality of training as well as the effectiveness and efficiency of state management activities The system of legal and administrative documents of state management agencies on higher education of the Ministry of Education and Training and the Ministry of Public Security is overlapping without common agreement; State management apparatus and part- time training management in the public security sector have not been carefully selected; managerial mechanisms and methods have not kept up with the scale and growth rate of part- time training; financial resources and facilities for state management of this type of training in the public security sector have not been properly invested; the inspection and examination have not been carried out regularly and deeply and there is less clear connection between different levels in the sector Meanwhile, the theoretical issues about state management on part- time training are still scattered and not intensive There has not been any research on the difference between part- time and full- time trainings at higher education level; between part- time training inside and outside the police force There is also no work clearly analyzing the content and characteristics of state management of higher education in the form part- time training as well as the inadequacies in state management of higher education in the form of part- time training in educational institutions under the Ministry of Public Security, and the solutions to strengthen state management of higher education in the form of in-service training have been therefore not proposed For the above reasons, the writer of the study has decided to produce the research on “State management of higher education in the form part- time training at academies under the Ministry of Public Security" for the doctoral dissertation of public administration Thereby, the writer wishes to find out solutions to strengthen state management of higher education in the form of part- time training at stable and long-term development of higher education in the form of part- time training at academies under the Ministry of Public Security; (2) Perfecting the system of legal and regulatory documents, statutes and regulations on higher education in the form of part- time training; (3) Perfecting organizational structure of state management machinery of higher education in the form of part- time training in People's Public Security Forces; (4) Renovating the construction and management of lecturers and educational administrators; (5) Ensuring the regular inspection and examination of higher education in the form of part- time training in People's Public Security Forces Each mentioned solution has its own role and meaning but they are interrelated, interacted and complementary to each other They need to be carried out synchronously and unanimously in order to enhance the state management on higher education in the form of part- time training at academies under the Ministry of Public Security During implementation process, depending on conditions and time, each solution has been given different priority and it is possible to arrange order of implementation of solutions to achieve optimal efficiency CONCLUSION Strengthening state management on higher education in the form of part- time training at academies under the Ministry of Public Security is quite necessary in the development of higher education in general, higher education in the form of part- time training in People’s public security sector in particular in the era of approaching the industrial revolution 4.0 The People’s police forces play significant role in performing the task of maintaining national security, ensuring social order and safety, making an important contribution to the achievement of socio-economic development objectives and tasks as well as external affairs of the country, protecting peaceful life of the people The People’s police forces are also struggling with multi-disciplinary and multi- sectoral crimes Therefore, People's police soldiers and officers must be recruited from experts from many different fields and professions Orientation to develop people’s police force in terms of quantity and quality should be associated with the task of developing higher education in the form of part- time training at Academies under the Ministry of Public Security For nearly 40 years of existence and development, state management of higher education in the form of part- time training at Academies under the Ministry of Public Security has gained great successes, contributing to successfully implementing the plan to build a regular, elite military force and all tasks designated by the Party and people In addition to the achievements, state management 23 4.2.3 Perfecting organizational structure of the state management machinery of higher

Ministry of Public Security is facing many difficulties and inadequacies If the research proposes feasible and practical solutions suitable to the conditions of education and training in people’s public security sector, it can help to strengthen the state management of these academies At the same time, it will be a premise and conditions to ensure the quality of higher education in general and of higher education in the form of part- time training in public security sector in particular, contributing to improving its quality of human resources If policy making and and plans are stable with long-term development, the system of legal documents are completed and unified from the central to grassroots levels, organizational structure of state management apparatus is consolidated and unified, educational managers and lecturers are well-qualified with high professional competence and enthusiasm, the inspection and supervision are implemented regularly and fairly, the state management of higher education in the form of part- time training at academies under the Ministry of Public Security will contribute to the diversification of the main directions of higher education development of the Government in general and the Public Security sector in particular - Awareness of some Party committees, heads of units and officers, soldiers on the position and importance of higher education in the form of part- time training is incomplete CHAPTER 3: CONCLUSION Although higher education in the form of part- time training at Academies under the Ministry of Public Security has made important strides in terms of both quality and quantity, it has not met the requirements of human resources training for national security protection and social order our country today The main reason for this is that the state management of part- time training at Academies under the Ministry of Public Security has not been highly effective as expected Such situation requires directions and solutions to strengthen state management on higher education in the form of parttime training at Academies under the Ministry of Public Security now This will be presented in Chapter Chapter ORIENTATIONS AND SOLUTIONS TO STRENGTHEN STATE MANAGEMENT OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN THE FORM OF PART- TIME TRAINING AT ACADEMIES UNDER THE MINISTRY OF PUBLIC SECURITY In this chapter, the following main sections are mentioned: 4.1 Orientations for strengthening state management of higher education in the form part- time training at Academies under the Ministry of Public Security 4.1.1 Thoughts, opinions of the Party, policies and laws of the State on the development of higher education in the form of part- time training Through political and legal documents of the Communist Party of Vietnam and the State of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, it can be noted that the viewpoints and thoughts of our Party and State on part- time training are: higher education in the form of parttime training as well as other types of non-formal training equally contribute to the realization of such missions of education and training as raising people's knowledge, developing human resources, fostering talents, playing an important role in the national construction and building Vietnamese culture and people 4.1.2 Viewpoints and objectives of the Central Police Party Committee and the Ministry of Public Security on higher education in the form of part- time training in the People's Public Security Forces 19 Second, the system of legal, regulatory and administrative documents on higher education in the form part- time training of the Ministry of Education and Training and Ministry of Public Security is still overlapping without common agreement The progress of studying and promulgating legal documents is still slow; the quality and validity are not high Third, some contents of the credit training system are not thoroughly implemented in the People’s police sector Fourth, the apparatus of state management of higher education in the form of part- time training is still not stable and reasonable Fifth, there has not been a set of criteria to evaluate practical capacity of lecturers and educational managers so as to make a plan to train and foster professional skills for them Sixth, there is no connection or linkage in the inspection and examination between levels, there is also no overall inspection plan from central to grassroots level 3.3.2.2 Reasons for limitations - There is no close and effective coordination between forecasting, training planning, human resource development in the People's public security sector and planning and policies for higher education in general and higher education in the form of part- time training in particular - Credit system training applied to part- time training at the Academies under the Ministry of Public Security appears unreasonable issues due to typical managerial features of the Public security sector - Since 2018, the implementation of Decree No 01 of the Prime Minister defining the functions, tasks, powers and organizational structure of the Ministry of Public Security makes the organizational structure of the state management agency in charge of education and training of Ministry of Public Security changed and disturbed - The autonomy mechanism in higher education as stated in the Law on Higher Education has not been realized and fully implemented in Academies under the Ministry of Public Security - The evaluation of real capacity of lecturers and educational managers to develop training programs and plans is not properly carried out - There is a lack of uniform solutions on education and training in the public security sector to achieve stated goals Organization of the dissertation In addition to the introduction, conclusion, list of references and appendices, the dissertation is structured into chapters as follows: Chapter 1: Overview of previous research related to the dissertation topic; Chapter 2: Scientific base of state management of higher education in the form of part – time training; Chapter 3: Practice of state management of higher education in the form of part- time training at academies under the Ministry of Public Security; Chapter 4: Orientations and solutions to strengthen state management of higher education in the form of part- time training at academies under the Ministry of Public Security 18 CHAPTER OVERVIEW OF PREVIOUS RESEARCH This chapter reviews existing information about the related topic of different researchers and gathers them in two groups: 1.1 Overview of previous research on higher education in the form of part- time training 1.2 Overview of previous research on state management of higher education in the form of part- time training at academies under the Ministry of Public Security Based on the findings of previous research related to the topic, the dissertation has produced the following assessments: 1.3 General evaluation on findings of previous research 1.3.1 The resolved issues Higher education in the form of part- time training and state management of this kind of training receive much interest in different ways, theoretically and practically, at home and abroad or in the aspects of politics, economics, sociology and law The published studies basically give some views and concepts related to state management of higher education, the role of the State in higher education in general, and in higher education in the form of part- time training in particular Theoretical research on state management, especially on state management of higher education has not been given comprehensive attention; no study has considered state management of higher education and higher education in the form of part- time training as a holistic subject but as a theoretical issue that must be solved when studying the state management of higher education 4 The studies of different researchers in the world have vividly reflected diverse and various practices with different state management background, affecting the state management of higher education of educational institutions in countries around the world The results of the above research have suggested and provided information, research methods and approaches for this dissertation 1.3.2 The remained issues The domestic and foreign researches have a number of aspects related to the state management of higher education in the form of part- time training and achieved certain success But such contents as state management, improvement of the state management system, strengthening of state management are too general or broad at the macro level Yet some theoretical and practical issues on state management of higher education in the form part- time training are not clearly mentioned and need further research Moreover, researches related to state management and state management of higher education in the form of part- time training in general and state management of higher education in the form of part- time training at academies under the Ministry of Public Security in particular are approached much limitedly from the perspective of public management 1.3.3 Issues to be further studied and resolved - In theory, things need to be more clarified: State management of higher education in the form of part- time training at academies under the Ministry of Public Security compared to state management of higher education in the form of part- time training in other educational institutions, what is the difference? - In practice: the practice of state management of higher education in the form of part- time training at academies under the Ministry of Public Security at present: advantages, disadvantages and causes - Suggestions: proposing directions and solutions to enhance the state management of higher education in the form of part- time training at academies under the Ministry of Public Security Chapter 1: Conclusion Chapter produced a description of previous researches, books and newspapers directly and indirectly related to the field of state management of higher education in the form of part- time training at academies under the Ministry of Public Security There are a number of domestic and foreign works, thesis, dissertations or scientific researches related to the field of state management, but indepth research on state management of higher education in the form attaches great importance to the implementation of the identified tasks under the Component Project
