The necessity of the thesis Intellectual is the precious capital of the nation, the embodiment of the wisdom of the times. The more developed the society, the better the position and role of intellectuals, especially in the context of the forthcoming fourth S & T revolution, with the increasing gray matter competition. The Communist Party of Vietnam affirms: "In every age, knowledge is always the foundation of social progress, the intelligentsia is the core of creativity and the spread of knowledge. Today, along with the rapid development of modern science and technology revolution, intellectuals have become an especially important resource, creating the strength of each country in its development strategy". Therefore, developing the intelligentsia is to raise the intellectual level and strength of the nation, thereby contributing significantly to the cause of building and developing the country along the socialist path that the 12th National Assembly of the Party affirmed that "to build a contingent of intellectuals with high quality and meet the requirements of national development". The Central Highlands are rich in potential and natural resources, and the exploitation of these factors has spurred economic development. However, the lack of understanding and of full and thorough assessment leads to the limited understanding of the land and the people. Thinking of exploiting and destroying is still mainstream at many levels, branches and people here, not yet forming the thinking of exploiting associated with conservation and development. Consequently, the forest is destroyed, the ecological environment is severely degraded; Population structure is variable and unplanned; Many complex issues arise, badly affecting the political security, social order and safety, threatening the stability and development of the Central Highlands, thus creating holes and gaps for the hostile forces and reactionary fighters. The above shows that in order to ensure stability and rapid and sustainable development, the Central Highlands needs to transform the growth model from breadth to breadth and depth. In particular, it is necessary to build 2 high quality human resources as a breakthrough. Solving this problem is to remove the obstacles for the development here. However, finding the solution to the problem is not easy but very difficult. Especially for a long time, the Central Highlands is an area that is low in education and thus the human resources in general and the intellectuals in particular have many shortcomings in terms of quantity, quality and structure. Besides, in the past years, although there have been many scientific studies on the Central Highlands, but from the viewpoint of philosophy, there are no topics to study fully and comprehensively about the development of the intellectuals in the Central Highlands. That also raises the need to study more about this area. Based on the above reasons, it is very important to research, study and evaluate the real situation of development of the intellectuals in the Central Highlands to determine the viewpoints and solutions to continue to develop and improve this contingent both theoretically and practically. Moreover, as a person who has lived, matured and worked for more than 30 years in the Central Highlands, with the desire to contribute a small part of one’s strength to the development process, considering it as a tribute to the land and the people here who have brought up, taken care of the PhD candidate, the topic "Development of intellectuals in the Central Highlands in the period of accelerated industrialization and modernization" is chosen as the Philosophy Doctoral thesis, majoring in social science. 2.
