Building cultural cadres in ethnic minority areas to meet new development era requirements

Abstract

Ethnic minority areas form a diverse cultural space of strategic significance for Vietnam's sustainable development. Amid globalization, market economy, and digital transformation, tasks of preserving-promoting cultural heritage while elevating grassroots cultural life quality pose new demands on cultural cadresm, not merely administrative management but mastering community cultural governance, creating cultural-creative ecosystems, and leading innovation. The article clarifies the status of ethnic minority cultural cadres; identifies gaps in quantity, expertise, incentives, and digital capacity; and proposes solutions to build ethnic minority cultural cadres meeting new development era requirements.
