Five political commissars from Regiment 754 took part in the contest for outstanding political lecturers. Each competed in three segments: lesson preparation; teaching practice combined with handling pedagogical situations during the lecture; and general knowledge.

In the lesson preparation segment, contestants developed one topic from the unit’s 2026 political education programme tailored to the target audience. In the teaching practice part, they delivered one to two sections of their prepared lecture as assigned by the judging panel.
 
 
 

In the knowledge segment, contestants completed two components. The organising committee prepared a question bank, from which each contestant drew one multiple-choice test and one scenario-based question on handling soldiers’ ideological situations. The multiple-choice test focused on core issues in political education work at units today.

The scenario-based component was based on the document “Signs for identifying groups of disciplinary violations, safety risks and abnormal psychological behaviour, and suggested handling measures for grassroots officers in potential ideological situations” issued by the Department of Information and Education under the General Department of Politics.

At the part for rapporteurs, nine contestants who are secretaries, deputy secretaries and members from Party cells and the Party Committee of Infantry Battalion 1 took part, each competing in three segments: preparing a presentation outline, delivering a presentation, and answering questions from the judging panel.

The questions were directly related to the presentations, with additional elements to assess the rapporteurs’ knowledge and skills.

At the end of the contests, the organising committee and judging panel of both parts said contestants had demonstrated thorough preparation, well-structured outlines and logical presentations, with clear and coherent delivery. They showed strong public-speaking and persuasive skills, engaging audiences effectively, while combining theory with practice and knowledge delivery with ideological guidance.

Contestants also made effective use of information technology, incorporating slides and visual aids to enhance the quality of their presentations.

At the end of the contest, the organising committee awarded two first, two second and two third prizes, along with other awards, to top-performing contestants./.
