The proportion of ethnic minority civil servants and public employees holding leadership and management positions in provincial agencies and units is 8.97%, at district level is 14.93%, and at commune level is 33.14%.

Implementing Sub-project 2, Project 5, National Target Program on Socio-Economic Development in Ethnic Minority and Mountainous Areas for the 2021-2030 Period, Phase I: From 2021-2025 (National Target Program 1719), Kon Tum province organized ethnic knowledge training for 104 managers of educational institutions; reviewed and registered postgraduate training subjects and majors (9 targets for Master's degree, 3 targets for PhD).

Kon Tum province has pointed out difficulties and limitations in implementing policies and laws on ethnic minority cadre work. Specifically, the number of ethnic minority cadres and civil servants in some agencies, units and localities accounts for a very low proportion. The team of ethnic minority cadres and civil servants is formed from many sources and many different areas, with uneven professional and technical qualifications, and is still passive; lacking in formality and depth, a part of the capacity is still limited, not meeting the requirements of the tasks in the new situation. The recruitment of civil servants for ethnic minority students after graduation is currently facing difficulties and obstacles...

The monitoring delegation discussed and clarified a number of contents and solutions for Kon Tum province to continue to improve the quantity and quality of ethnic minority civil servants and public employees to meet the socio-economic development requirements of the locality in ethnic minority and mountainous areas.
