The Academy of Politics Region I was established in 1953 from Party schools in the region. Set up in the resistance war against French colonialists, the academy was initially tasked with training district-level officials for the Party and the State, serving the resistance war and the national construction. Today, it has become a centre for training leaders and management officials of the Party, the State and socio-political organizations in northern localities, as well as central agencies and sectors under the arrangement of the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics.

The Academy of Politics Region I offers five-year concentrated  training courses in higher education  for students  from the  Lao People’s Democratic Republic, focusing on politics, organization and inspection.

The academy also provides a 24-month non-concentrated postgraduate training programme in three majors of economic management, Party history and philosophy.

It boasts a 16-room library, with about 8,000 titles of books, 200,000 documents and over 300 newspapers and magazines, capable of serving more than 200 readers every day.
