Development of Juche-oriented Education

Pyongyang, September 5 (KCNA) -- President Kim Il Sung made public the immortal classic work "Theses on Socialist Education" on September 5, 1977.

The work comprehensively deals with all problems arising in education, including the basic principles of pedagogy and the contents and methods of socialist education.

The publication of the theses was an epoch-making event that brought about a new turning point in the development of education in the DPRK.

True to the noble intention of respected fatherly Marshal Kim Jong Un to train the rising generations into reliable pillars of the socialist country, the DPRK's education is now writing a proud history of its development as the most advantageous and ideal one that can be entrusted with guaranteeing the future of the country.

The universal 12-year compulsory education has been enforced, the optional curriculum and the system of voluntarily selecting subjects introduced at senior middle schools and the educational contents put on a more concrete, diversified and practical basis. Like this, a great change has been made in the education of the DPRK.

Amid the nationwide and social attention and support, many school buildings have been newly built across the country and education has been put on an IT and modern basis to radically improve the appearance of educational institutions. And the tele-education system was established to consolidate the solid foundation for making all the people well versed in science and technology.

Schoolchildren's palaces, children's camps and primary and middle schools for orphans were successfully built in different parts of the country. And homemade school uniforms, things, bags and shoes are supplied to the schoolchildren across the country. This is the proud reality that can be found only in the socialist system of the DPRK which gives priority to education and puts it forward as the first state affair.

The DPRK brings earlier the future of a powerful socialist country and guarantees the eternal future by making a new turn in education. It is developing into an educational power and talent power with each passing day. -0-
