The article argues that, amid innovation, international integration, and digital transformation, enhancing the quality of grassroots officials requires Intermediate Political Theory training to transition to a competency-based approach, beginning with the development of a standardized competency framework. Drawing on theoretical foundations, the study defines competency as the ability to mobilize knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values to perform tasks effectively, while a competency framework is understood as a standards system describing these components across proficiency levels. Using literature review, consultations with experts, and feedback from leaders, lecturers, and learners at six political schools in the North Central region, the research proposes a framework consisting of six core competency groups: professional competency, critical thinking, communication and collaboration, ethics and social responsibility, self-learning and personal development, and digital competency, with 30 criteria assessed on a five-level scale. The framework provides a quantitative tool for evaluating learning outcomes, supports innovation in teaching methods, strengthens practice-oriented curriculum development, and improves the connection between theory and local needs. As the model remains theoretical and the survey scope is limited, further pilot testing, refinement of assessment instruments, and regular updates are necessary to ensure feasibility, flexibility, and long-term effectiveness.
