Making the Working Class Well-versed in Science and Technology

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said:

"As demanded by the Party's policy of making all the people well-versed in science and technology, we should conduct on a regular basis and in an effective way the work of disseminating the advanced sci-tech knowledge among the working class, agricultural workers and other working people."

Today, our Party has set it as the most important principle to make the working class well-versed in science and technology on a preferential basis in the work for making all the people well-versed in science and technology and is pushing ahead with it.

From the perspective of the historical traditions and fighting spirit and from the position and role it takes in the building of the economic power, the working class should be the model of other working people as an advanced class in society in accomplishing the cause of making all the people well-versed in science and technology. And only then can it succeed in making all the people well-versed in science and technology.

In addition, the number of workers engaged in technical, intellectual and mental labour is rapidly increasing in the composition of labour resources, as labour is becoming more and more technically and intelligently applied in various sectors of the national economy, including industry. This requires the working class to become well-versed in science and technology ahead of everything.

Success in making all the people well-versed in science and technology depends on the quality and speed of making the working class well-versed in science and technology.

With absolute trust in our working class, the respected General Secretary led the workers to take the lead in bringing about a whirlwind of making all the people well-versed in science and technology.

The immortal leadership exploits performed by the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un for making the working class well-versed in science and technology are that he ensured that the study-while-working colleges were further enlarged and at the same time, the tele-education was strengthened and their level was raised by leaps and bounds.

He set it as the Party's policy to make all the working people intellectual-type workers under the study-while-working system and led them to receive higher education by increasing the number of study-while-working colleges, including factory colleges and fishermen's colleges, and raising their educational level.

Thanks to the deliberate care of the respected General Secretary, several factory colleges and fishermen's colleges have been newly established in recent years to contribute to implementing the Party's policy of making all the people well-versed in science and technology.

In June, Juche102(2013), he visited the Pyongyang Condiments Factory and praised its employees for receiving tele-education through computer network at the tele-lecture room built in the factory without having to go to university, and stressed that we should further develop the system of study for all the people.

Thanks to his loving care, the Sci-Tech complex, which has been built into a superb structure, can fully provide factories, enterprises and individuals with necessary sci-tech information through the state network at any time and, if they want, everyone can obtain the highest-level of university education, including Kim Il Sung University and Kim Chaek University of Technology.

As a result, the ranks of workers engaged in technical and intellectual labour are rapidly expanding in our country, and their qualifications and abilities are also markedly improving.

Once, he visited the Pyongyang Kim Jong Suk Silk Mill. He learned that the graduates of the tele-education college are taking an active part in the technical innovation work. He said that the factory has already proved its superiority. He mentioned that the factory has become able to modernize its production processes by its own efforts as its scientific and technological forces have grown, adding that this is a true feature of the Party's policy on making all the people well-versed in science and technology.

The immortal leadership exploits performed by the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un for making the working class well-versed in science and technology are that he established a regular vocational technical education system and encouraged the working class to become more skilled technical personnel.

In the era of the knowledge-based economy, the demand and the requirement of quality for technical personnel of various types including practical technical personnel and skilled workers who are compatible with the appropriate management of the information-oriented and modernized production technical processes, and who have high skills in operating each process as well as the concept of information, are increasing day by day.

In the era of the knowledge-based economy, the demand and the requirement of quality for technical personnel of various types are increasing day by day-they include practical technical personnel and skilled workers who are compatible with the appropriate management of the information-oriented and modernized production technical processes, and who have high skills in operating each process as well as the concept of information.

On the basis of the scientific analysis of the status of the vocational technical education in our country and the trend of its development in different countries around the world, he ensured that new technical senior middle schools at the secondary general education stage, and the vocational technical colleges at the tertiary education stage were established, thus opening up a bright prospect for training competent professional technicians needed for socialist economic construction.

Thanks to the measures taken by the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, technical senior middle schools are now in operation at the secondary general education stage in conformity with the characteristics of the regional economic development and the education system of the vocational technical college is being consolidated further.

As a result, a large number of competent professional technicians are being grown to operate a modern and IT-based production system and a great leap forward is being made in the production by dint of science and technology.

The immortal leadership exploits performed by the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un for making the working class well-versed in science and technology are that he ensured that bases for disseminating science and technology were built in different parts of the country, and that their operation was put on a normal basis, thus leading the working class to grow into competent talents and standard-bearers in creation with modern science and technology.

Good buildings equipped with computers connected to the state network alone doesn't mean making all people well-versed in science and technology.

He ensured that a nationwide dissemination network was formed centered on the Sci-Tech Complex to disseminate the latest scientific and technological data from the centre to the lowest level as if the water flows, and that the factories and enterprises operated the sci-tech dissemination rooms purposefully.

Thanks to the wise leadership of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, the workers of the DPRK are acquiring advanced science and technology and expertise for making an actual positive contribution to the current production of their units using the sci-tech dissemination rooms.

The marvelous reality of today where there is a remarkable upsurge in technical innovation and production throughout the country attributed to the workers who are qualified as competent scientific and technological personnel is a brilliant fruition of the wise leadership of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un who gave priority to making the working class well-versed in science and technology and led it energetically to success, accelerating the work for making all the people well-versed in science and technology.
