It aims to assess the situation of National Defense and Security Education teaching at Tay Bac University, particularly in conveying political knowledge to students. The research focuses on evaluating the current status and proposing solutions. The author collected information from students and lecturers through surveys and interviews.

Students reported that the course is not effectively connected to real-life situations and lacks flexibility in knowledge delivery. Additionally, lecturers face challenges in conveying complex political issues to students. Based on these analyses and evaluations, the study proposes several solutions to improve the quality of political education in the National Defense and Security Education course. The study concludes that enhancing the quality of political education in National Defense and Security Education is essential to ensure students have a solid understanding of politics and security, thereby contributing to the development of a responsible and aware student community for national progress.
