Focusing on education and talents is the consistent policy of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK).
Education is a far-reaching patriotic work for a powerful and prosperous country and nation. And the power of a country and the future of revolution depend upon how next generations are trained and educated.
The respected Comrade
"Education is the honourable work of nurturing the future of the country and the revolution, and it is the most responsible and worthwhile work."
Today the DPRK's Juche education entered a fresh higher stage of its development under the leadership of the respected Comrade
The respected General Secretary, who unfolds the great heyday in building socialist education, indefinitely glorifying the Juche-oriented educational ideology and leadership exploits of President
Here is a story about affection and trust of the General Secretary in educators who regarded them as the actors of the educational revolution and patriots in a big conference for educators.
One day in August Juche103(2014), he called the senior officials of the central committee of the WPK to his office.
That day he gave important instructions related to the issues to bring about a new transition in education relating to the 13th National Conference of Educators to be held on the occasion of the 37th anniversary of the publication of the "Thesis on Socialist Education" written by President
Told about his instructions that education is a far-reaching patriotic work for a powerful and prosperous country and nation, and the power of a country and the future of revolution depend upon how next generations are trained and educated, the officials fell in deep thought.
Now quite a few countries concentrate the investment in other sectors at the expense of the lack of attention to education. It is partly because the latter lacks visible successes at the moment and preconditions the huge amount of state investment. However, it is further because they fail to treat education as a crucial matter that decides the rise and fall of a country.
However, our respected General Secretary, who has unusual insight and ardent patriotism, has firm confidence that the power of our nation is intensified and revolution is successfully carried forward when education is valued as a far-reaching patriotic work.
After clarifying the objectives of the educational revolution in the new millennium with the tasks and ways to realize them, he stressed in this way.
The main actors in the educational revolution in the new millennium are teachers. Education is precisely conscience, devotion and patriotism.
Where can we find such educators leading glorious and worthwhile lives under the unusual affection and belief of such a peerless person? Actually the General Secretary regards the educators who devote their flawless conscience to educational work with the only intention to sacrifice themselves for the country's future as revolutionaries and patriots. He then unfolds successive brilliant and far-reaching blueprints with firm belief in them.
The respected General Secretary's boundless affection and trust was impetus that allows the educators of the DPRK to lead loyal and patriotic life.
There is more.
There was a time when he posed for a photo in front of the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun, the supreme sacred place of Juche, with those teachers who volunteered to teach at branch schools on islets, forefront regions and the schools in the remote mountainous areas.
He postponed their sojourn in Pyongyang and he emphasized to take care of them and to introduce them widely to the public because our party treasured them. And also he said they were grateful teachers and senior officials always kept their deep concern to care for them.
Therefore, all the officials and teachers engaged in the educational sector of the DPRK devote their all efforts to radically develop the country's education with his great love and trust enshrined in their hearts.
