The Hanoi People's Committee on July 31 issued Plan No. 216/KH-UBND to strengthen legal education and raise legal awareness among young people.
The plan aims to link legal education with political, moral, and cultural values during the 2025–2030 period, when the city will officially adopt a two-tier local government model starting from July 1, 2025.
Each year, the goal is to ensure that 100% of students in Hanoi receive information about laws and policies that are directly relevant to their daily lives and learning, tailored to their age group.
All youth union officials in schools will be trained and updated with new legal knowledge and communication skills.
At least 80% of juveniles who have violated the law will receive legal education to improve awareness, reduce repeat offenses, and support their reintegration into the community.
In 2025, 50% of first-year university and college students in Hanoi will be educated about legal issues related to public security, crime prevention, and social evils. This figure is expected to reach 60% in 2026 and 80% by 2030.
By 2025, 80% of young ethnic minority legal educators will receive professional training to help them deliver legal education to youth in mountainous and ethnic minority areas. This number is expected to increase to 90% in 2026 and reach 100% by 2030.
The city also aims to ensure that by 2025, 80% of young people will receive legal information through online platforms, social media, and public media. This rate is expected to increase to 90% in 2026 and 100% by 2030.
The program targets a wide range of young people, including students, out-of-school youth, working youth, those at risk of legal violations, young offenders, youth in difficult circumstances, and young workers in industrial zones.
It also includes members of the city's Youth Union, youth in urban and rural areas, youth in ethnic and mountainous regions, and young civil servants and public employees.
The content focuses on practical and age-appropriate laws and policies affecting young people. It also includes information on public conduct, laws in draft form that may impact youth, and matters of concern among the city's youth.
The campaign will use diverse and engaging formats such as conferences, workshops, seminars, extracurricular activities, legal knowledge contests, videos, mock trials, and mobile court sessions.
From 2025 to 2030, Hanoi will expand legal aid clubs and advisory services for youth. Legal education events will be held for students, young workers, juvenile inmates, and youth in various geographic and social settings.
Educational materials will be produced in digital formats and shared through social media platforms like Facebook and Zalo, LED screens, electronic devices, and mobile apps. The program will also be promoted through mainstream media.
The Hanoi Police will be responsible for providing legal education to young detainees in temporary detention centers.
They will also lead efforts, in coordination with the Department of Justice and local authorities, to educate out-of-school and working youth living in residential areas.
Legal education on public order and safety will also be provided to first-year students at universities and colleges in the city.
