INTRODUCTION
1. The needs of the research topics
In state management, legal education can be identified as an important
stage and link in the process of building a socialist rule-of-law state of Vietnam.
The legal education is a bridge to convey and bring laws to life, which helps the
people, organizations and units in society to identify, understand and comply
with the state regulations. Recognizing the significance and important role of
legal education, in recent years, the Communist Party and State have advocated
in making legal education a key teaching content, which is paid special
attention to agencies and public sector units. The inspection is an effective tool
to ensure the clean and strong apparatus of the State. The operation of the state
inspection system contributes to reviewing, detecting and preventing some acts
that are contrary to the provisions of law. The inspector is an integral part of the
civil servant system in Vietnam. In order to carry out the assigned tasks
effectively and successfully, the inspectors must understand the Communist
Party's guidelines and policies, especially the legal documents of the State.
Therefore, the quality of legal education for the inspection teams is
considered as one of the prerequisite factors for the quality of inspection sector.
In the context of deeper and broader international integration, the task of
building the socialist rule-of-law state presents great requirements that require
constant improvements and strengthening the legal education for the inspection

teams in order to build the Vietnamese inspetion teams that not only have
strong professional skills, but also a thorough understanding of the law
provisions on inspection, settlement of complaints and denunciations, anticorruption and other relevant legal documents. Starting from the aforesaid
reasons, the study to clarify the literature reviews, actual situation and solutions
to improve the quality of legal education for the inspection teams in Vietnam at
present is set up as a necessary requirement. The topic of "Legal education for
the inspection teams in Vietnam today" is an independent scientific research
project of a Ph.D. Candidate, which is the topic selected by the author as a
doctoral thesis in Public Management.

5. Research questions and research hypotheses
5.1. Research questions
The legal education for the inspection teams plays an important role,
contributing to the decision on the quality of public service executives of the
inspectors, the effectiveness and efficiency of the state inspection agencies.
Therefore, the overall study of theoretical issues as well as practical issues on
the legal education for the inspection teams, the author set out some research
questions:
1) How has the legal education for the inspection teams been studied by
domestic and foreign scientists?
2) Is the legal education for the inspection teams in Vietnam currently
conducted on the basis of theoretical issues?
3) What are the advantages, limitations, and causes of the limitations of the
actual situation of the legal education for the inspection teams in our country?
4) What viewpoints and solutions should be based on in order to
strengthen the legal education for the inspection teams?
5.2. Research hypotheses
- Hypothesis 1: About the legal education and legal education for the
inspection teams, there has a number of research work, but they are not
comprehensive and systematic, so there are many issues of legal education for the
inspection teams from theoretical and practical aspects that have not been studied.
- Hypothesis 2. The legal education for the inspection teams must be
based on the unified and scientific awareness of legal education for the
inspection teams, based on the characteristics, roles and factors affecting the
legal education for the inspectors.
- Hypothesis 3: In addition to the achieved results, the legal education for
the inspection teams in our country is still inadequate in terms of programs,
content, teaching staff, forms, methods and facilities to ensure the lecturers in
legal education for the inspection teams.
- Hypothesis 4: In order to enhance the legal education for the inspection

teams in our country, it is necessary to base on the comprehensive and systematic
viewpoints, and solutions on the institutionalization and organizations of the
implementation of legal education for the inspection teams.

Chapter 1
OVERVIEW OF THE RESEARCH SITUATION
1.1. DOMESTIC RESEARCH WORK
1.1.1. Theoretical studies on legal education
The research work in this group at different levels have focused on
research on the objectives, missions, subjects, objects, contents, methods and
forms of legal education for specific objects; assessing of the situation, pointing
out the achieved results as well as the limitations of legal education for the
objects; analysis of some factors affecting the activities of legal education;
therefore, it proposes some solutions to improve the effectiveness of legal
education for the objects. These scientific and research topics also focus on
examining the typical characteristics of subjects, objects, contents, methods,
and forms of legal education for specific social objects, pointing out the
situation, advantages as well as limitations and shortcomings of this work, the
causes leading to that situation, some factors affecting the legal education and
solutions to improve the quality of legal education.
1.1.2. Research work on legal education for cadres and civil servants
related to education and training for the inspectors
The inspectors are a type of civil servant, so the theory of legal education

for the inspection teams does not exclude in the general theory of legal
education for cadres and civil servants. The research work in this group
basically clarify the issues related to the legal education for the inspectors in
relation to the legal education for cadres and civil servants, such as: legal
education in the renovation period, legal sociology, legal awareness of the
administrative teams of cadres and civil servants, etc.
1.2. FOREIGN RESEARCH WORK ON THE INSPECTORS AND
LEGAL EDUCATION FOR THE INSPECTORS
Besides the domestic research work, the thesis reviews a number of
foreign research work of countries related to the inspectors, legal education and
legal education for the inspectors.
1.3. EVALUATION OF RESEARCH RESULTS FROM THE APPROACHES
OF THE THESIS
Through the surveys of domestic and foreign scientific research work
related to the thesis topic, it is found that: the research on legal education in
6


Vietnam is currently quite rich and diverse in both objects, scopes and levels
and created the basis of the basic reasoning system, which is the basis for
applied research on legal education for specific objects. In general, the above
studies have built an important basic foundation for the theory of legal
education and legal education for the inspectors. These are important
orientations for Ph.D. Candidates to study more deeply and clarify some issues
of legal education for the inspection teams in Vietnam today. The thesis can
inherit the achievements of these studies on the basis of selective acquisition
and appropriate application to the implementation of specific seminars.
1.4. THE THESIS ISSUES NEEDED FURTHER STUDIES
1.4.1. Theoretical issues needed further studies
The objects of the research in most of the above scientific works are just

studied at the most basic issues of legal education in general. The aforesaid
works have not yet analyzed and clarified the core contents of legal education
for the inspection teams in Vietnam today such as: clarifying the intension of
the literature reviews in the legal education for the inspection teams, explaining
the factors affecting the quality of legal education for the inspection teams, etc.
Some of the aforesaid theoretical shortcomings are necessary to carry out the
research within the framework of the thesis topic. Therefore, these are the
research questions as well as the contents that is expected to be explained in the
chapters of the thesis.
1.4.2. Practical issues needed further studies
There is no research work that is systematic, in-depth and focused on
providing some solutions to enhance the legal education for the inspection
teams in Vietnam today. Therefore, the thesis needs to continue to clarify the
following contents: Firstly, the thesis must clarify the current situation of the
legal education for the inspection teams in Vietnam today: overview of the
number and quality of the activities of legal education for the inspection teams;
evaluation of the advantages, limitations and pointing out the reasons, etc.
Secondly, the thesis provides some viewpoints and proposes some solutions to
improve the quality of the legal education for the inspection teams in Vietnam.
CONCLUSION OF CHAPTER 1
In the overview, the author has conducted the research on domestic and
foreign scientific works related to the topic. The overview of research works on
7


the legal education for cadres and civil servants, including the inspectors, can
find a relatively rich number of domestic and foreign studies approaching the
issues in many different aspects, using the theoretical framework of different
scientific sectors and subjects. In which, the studies of the legal education in
general is relatively much. However, when focusing on the legal education for

the inspection teams, it can be said that the number of studies is still relatively
few, especially the research from the perspective of public management.
Therefore, it is possible to make the system of scientific fundamentals in the
legal education for the inspection teams incomplete, but it only remains at a
high level of generalization without focusing on specific contents.

lawful rights and interests to perform their official duties.
2.2. LEGAL EDUCATION FOR THE INSPECTION TEAMS
2.2.1. Concept of legal education for the inspection teams
2.2.1.1. Concept of legal education
Legal education, which is often understood in the narrow sense of
education concept in pedagogical science, is a purposeful, organized, and
9


planned impact process of legal education subjects to convey and transmit the
contents, through scientific educational methods and suitable education forms
to the subjects receiving education in order to achieve certain educational
objectives and effectiveness. In this way, legal education is not the same as
simple legal education activities, but there is a distinction between subjects and
objects. In addition, legal education also aims to raise the legal awareness of
citizens and organizations, ensuring the society’s order and safety.
2.2.1.2. Concept of legal education for the inspection teams
Legal education for the inspection teams is a purposeful, organized and
planned impact process of legal education subjects through various measures and
ways to provide the inspection teams with knowledge and legal knowledge in
general, laws on inspection, settlement of complaints, denunciations and anticorruption in particular; equip the inspection teams with skills to comply,

maintaining the transparency, strengthening the beliefs of individuals, citizens
and organizations in the operation of the inspection apparatus.
2.2.2.2. Characteristics of legal education for the inspection teams
- The purpose of legal education for the inspection teams is not only to
improve legal knowledge but also to be skillful in applying laws when
10


inspectors perform duties and powers assigned by the Party and the State,
which are activities of reviewing and evaluating the law observance of
agencies, organizations and individuals.
- The subjects of legal education for the inspection teams are agencies or
organization that have the functions and tasks of legal education prescribed by

about the law implementation of the inspected subjects when the inspectors conduct
inspection activities.
2.2.3.2. Subjects of legal education for the inspection teams.
Firstly: Educational and training agencies and institutions which directly
conduct legal education for the inspection teams.
Secondly, subjects of legal education for the inspection teams are legal
education educators who have been teaching in legal training and fostering
institutions and legal rapporteurs.
Thirdly, subjects of legal education for the inspection teams are Party

agencies, state agencies, socio-political organizations, state management
agencies in charge of conducting legal education, approving legal education
programs and plans, setting up mechanisms and measures to ensure legal
education activities, promulgating legal education quality standards and setting
up evaluation mechanism of legal education for the inspectors.
In addition to the above subjects, the media and press agencies may be also
identified as legal education subjects for the inspection teams because these

agencies have the function of propaganda and dissemination of legal education.
The subjects of legal education are very diverse, but the thesis’s author
focuses on analyzing the following subjects: The Government Inspectorate and
the training and fostering institution of the Government Inspectorate that is the
School of Inspectorate; Ministries, ministerial-level agencies and training and

Legal education for the inspection teams is necessary to improve the
knowledge, skills and legal sense for the inspection teams; legal education for the
inspection teams is conducted by inspection officials and lecturers of inspection
training and fostering institutions and rapporteurs are officials and public servants
performing the state management of inspection, branches and domains. In order to
make legal education for the inspectors effective, it is necessary to build programs,
13


methods, contents, and forms of legal education that are more diverse than some
other training systems where the learners are inspectors.
In addition, in order to make legal education for the inspectors effective,
it is necessary to ensure some factors such as: institutions of legal education;
organization of the apparatus and personnel team performing legal education
activities; facilities, equipment for legal education; quality of programs,
contents, forms, methods of legal education and responsibilities and roles of
heads of the state inspection agencies and advisory agencies of the state
inspection agencies. Legal education for the inspectors in some countries has
been studied to state reference values that can be applied to legal education for
the inspection teams in Vietnam today.

ACTUAL SITUATION OF LEGAL EDUCATION FOR
INSPECTION TEAMS IN VIETNAM TODAY
3.1. OVERVIEW OF INSPECTION TEAMS IN VIETNAM
3.1.1. Structure of inspection teams
3.1.1.1. Structure by rank of inspection teams
Pursuant to Report No. 3208/BC-TTCP dated December 28th, 2017 of the
Government Inspectorate on summarizing 06 years of implementing the Law on
Inspection, by the end of June 30th, 2017, the total number of employees in the
Inspection Department was 27761 people.

a) Structure by rank in the whole sector
The number of Senior Inspectors is 432 people; the number of Chief
Inspectors is 2110 people and the number of inspectors is 10792 people. In
general, from 2013 to 2015, the number of inspectors tended to increase slightly.
By the end of June 2017, the total number of inspection officials did not increase
sharply, showing the determination of the sector leaders in complying with the
Party and State's guiding views on staff downsizing.
b) Structure by ranks of some localities
In order to clarify the structure of inspection teams divided by rank of
inspection teams in the last 2 years, the author designed the survey sample
when contacting ministries and localities to collect information. Regarding the
structure of the inspection teams distributed in ministries and some provinces
14


and cities across the country. Statistics show that, at the provincial, city
inspection agencies, the author collected information and data showing that: in
the structure of inspection teams, the percentage of inspectors ranges from 60%
-90% of the inspector structure, the rate of the Chief Inspectors ranges from
about 10% -35% and the rate of Senior Inspectors accounts for the least number
with, even in many provinces across the country, there are no Senior Inspectors
in the structure of inspection teams such as Ha Nam, Quang Nam, Lai Chau.
3.1.1.2. Structure by age of the inspection teams
Regarding age correlation, the age group accounted for the majority is the
age group from 31-40 years old with about 40%. In the age group under 30,
young age account for a very low proportion in agencies such as Government
Inspectorate (3.41%); 5 Ministerial Inspectorates (4.43%); 5 Provincial
Inspectorates (9.14%); meanwhile the percentage of the Department and
District Inspectors were 26.19% and 20.45% respectively. In contrast, the age
group of 50-60 also accounts for a high proportion in the Government

Inspectorate, Ministerial Inspectorates and Provincial Inspectorates with about
15% - 19%, while this is the lowest proportion in the District and Provincial
Inspectorates with about 9%.
3.1.1.3. Structure by training levels
a) About professional qualifications
In order to make the most preliminary assessment of the training level of
the current inspection teams, the author collects information using a survey
form and a questionnaire design, integrated to get data.
The data collected shows that the training levels of the inspectors is from
the university upwards. In which inspectors with university degrees account for
the majority in the range of 60% -95%. The percentage of inspectors with
master's degrees varies from about 5% to 40%, (among provinces, Ninh Binh
and Hoa Binh currently have the highest percentage of inspectors with master's
degrees with 40.54% and 41.94%, respectively). Among the 19 provinces
where the author conducted the information collection, none of the provinces
had an inspector with doctoral degree.
b) About political reasoning qualifications
The inspection teams with primary political reasoning accounts for the
majority with about 58% (at the Government Inspectorate) and the highest is
79% at 5 district inspection agencies. The inspectors with senior political
15


reasoning qualifications ranked second in the structure of the political reasoning
qualifications of the inspectors at the Government Inspectorate, Provincial
Inspectorate and Ministerial Inspectorate with the rate of less than 24% - 35%
while the figure this for District Inspectorate and Department Inspectorate
accounted for only 6.82% and 4.76%. For the primary political reasoning
qualifications, except for the Government Inspectorate that accounts for 6.56%,
the remaining agencies have the rate from 11% - below 20%.

c) About Computer and Foreign Language qualifications
According to the author's survey at some agencies, in general, 100% of
inspectors have computer certificates or computer intermediate level or higher,
of which the majority are computer certifications with over 90%. In general, the
computer skills basically meet the work requirements of the inspection teams.
Regarding the qualifications of foreign languages (English), in general,
inspectors all have foreign language certificates with about 95%. The number of
inspectors with a foreign language university degree or higher is still low at the
Government Inspectorate is 5.25%, at the Ministerial Inspectorate is 4.43%, the
Provincial Inspectorate is 4.57%. Particularly for 5 Department Inspectorate
agencies and 5 District Inspectorate agencies where the author conducted the
survey, none of the inspectors has a foreign language university degree. 100%
of them have a foreign language certificate.
3.1.2. Structure by the current qualifications of legal education of
inspection teams
3.1.2.1. Survey results structured by legal education
3.1.2.2. Advantages of legal knowledge of inspection teams
Firstly, most inspectors in our country have been aware of the role and
importance of understanding and legal knowledge in the process of
implementing their assigned functions, tasks and powers.
Secondly, the inspection teams have actively and actively made efforts to
study and update legal information.
Thirdly, the inspection teams have the skills to use understanding and
legal knowledge in the process of applying the law in inspection activities,
resolving complaints, denunciations and preventing corruption in accordance
with the regulations.
3.1.2.3. Shortcomings and limitations of legal knowledge of the inspection
teams today
