Making all the people well versed in science and technology is the work of training revolutionary talents run through with the greatest love for the popular masses

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un clarified the idea of making all the people well versed in science and technology with the iron will to accomplish the cause of building a powerful socialist country as soon as possible, which is based on his insight into the requirements of the times and revolution with far-sighted, unusual acumen.

The work of making all the people well versed in science and technology put forth by the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un is aimed to prepare all the members of the society to be intellectual workers possessed of the knowledge of the university graduation and to be in direct charge of the development of the country's science and technology.

In other words, it is a bold and magnificent work to prepare all members of society to be knowledge-oriented workers who are possessed of the knowledge of university graduation and skillfully utilize it and to train them into genuine masters of science and technology and performers of the development of science and technology.

Making all the people well versed in science and technology for preparing all the members of the society to be intellectual workers possessed of the knowledge of the university graduation and the reliable performer of the development of science and technology, it is the work of training revolutionary talents run through with the greatest love for the popular masses of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said:

"Regarding as its guiding light the noble ideas and achievements of the great President and General who devoted their whole life to training the people by believing in them as in heaven and exalted the brilliance of Korea, our Party will continue to love the people and fight for them, and strive to translate their beautiful dreams and ideals into reality."

Why making all the people well versed in science and technology is the work for training revolutionary talents with the greatest love for the popular masses is first because it aims at meeting the demands of the popular masses to live and develop as civilized and powerful beings with high creative ability to the fullest measure.

It is the intrinsic requirement of men, the popular masses to live and develop as a civilized and powerful being while transforming nature and society with an independent ideological consciousness and high creative ability.

Only when one acquires an independent ideological consciousness can one live and develop independently without being subordinated or bound to anything, aware of being the master of one's own destiny and only when he acquires a high creative ability can he transform the world purposefully and consciously and shape his destiny.

Therefore, the greatest love for the popular masses is expressed in equipping the popular masses with an independent consciousness and training them to be people with high creative abilities.

Scientific and technological knowledge is the main factor that makes a man's creative ability, and when he possesses deep and rich scientific and technological knowledge, he can live and develop as a civilized and powerful being with high creative ability.

In particular, in this era of knowledge-based economy when the role of science and technology is increasing in all fields of social life, the knowledge-based level of the people is growing more demanding than in the past, and thus the person may be a useless person who fails to contribute to social progress if he does not possess modern scientific and technological knowledge.

In order to skillfully manage and run modern production equipment and technical processes with the introduction of ultra-modern science and technology, the working people at the production site, not to mention scientists and technicians, should be fully prepared to be the workers possessed of modern science and technology and as active performers in the development of science and technology.

The present reality in which the speed of creation, dissemination and application of new scientific and technological knowledge are getting faster day by day urgently demands that the people not only acquire and utilize the knowledge of science and technology of the university graduation but become active agents of the development of science and technology to actively solve any scientific and technological problems arising in their fields and units in a timely manner as active creators of new science and technology.

Making all the people well versed in science and technology unfolded by the Workers' Party of Korea originated from the requirements of the times and the revolution and at the same time embodied the noble love for the people of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un to train and put forward all the people as more powerful beings that are independent and creative.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, inheriting the outstanding revolutionary idea and guidance of President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il who formulated the revolution itself as love for and trust in the people and thoroughly embodied it in the Party building and its activities, ensures that all the ideas, theories and lines and policies of our Party are run through with the people-first principle and is carrying the legendary tale of love for the people on the road of revolutionary leadership.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, who has the warmest and ardent love for the people, defined it as an important criterion for developing socialist culture that all the people possess high cultural knowledge and unfolded a grand blueprint for fully preparing the popular masses to be talents equipped with modern scientific and technological knowledge and technical skills.

Making all the people well versed in science and technology is not merely the work of training ordinary talents to increase the intellectual abilities of the members of society.

It is the noble work of training the people into the most civilized and powerful beings in the world that are talented in science and technology.

The demand of the popular masses to live and develop as civilized and powerful beings with a sense of independent consciousness and high creative abilities are not to be realized in any era or under any system, as they wish.

In an exploitative society such as capitalist society where individualism prevails and the masses of the people are the targets of exploitation and oppression, it is not the independent and creative man who is awakened with independent consciousness and developed comprehensively but the slave to create profits as a slave of capital.

Therefore, in capitalist society, the question of ensuring that all the people have high knowledge and creative abilities cannot be raised; it is only spending a great deal of money on training some particular talents which can bring enormous profits to the capitalists, and on scrambling for and taking away talents from other countries and nations.

Why making all the people well versed in science and technology is the work of training revolutionary talents run through with the greatest love for the popular masses is second because it aims to train them to be the most civilized and powerful beings in the world and genuine masters of the era of the knowledge-based economy by fully preparing them to be competent revolutionary talents and sci-tech talents possessed of the ideal high level of modern scientific and technological knowledge and technical skills to carry out the building of a powerful socialist country.

The aspiration and demand of the popular masses to live and develop as the most civilized and powerful beings in the world will be successfully realized only when all the people are fully prepared as competent scientific and technological talents and genuine masters of science and technology and fulfill their responsibility and role as masters of science and technology.

The most civilized and powerful being in the world can be none other than the sci-tech talents and those in charge of scientific and technological development who possess high scientific and technological skills and skillfully utilize them in the future, to say nothing of at present when any civilization and social progress can never be thought without science and technology.

There are many countries in the world and not a few countries where new plans are prepared for training scientific and technological talents in a big way and the educational policies are implemented for their realization.

But there is no country that unfolds a grand blueprint for training all the masses of the people as competent scientific and technological talents and translates it into brilliant reality as in our country.

Making all the people well versed in science and technology put forth by our Party is a gigantic undertaking that enables all the people, including workers and peasants, not just specific scientists and technicians, to acquire and utilize modern science and technology to the letter and no wonder. It also raised the high goal of knowledge level of the degree of university graduation, not the general level of knowledge.

Making all the people well versed in science and technology, this is a great programme and a great cause of training revolutionary talents in the 21st century that can be born only under the care of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un who has determined the selfless, devoted service for the good of the people as the mode of existence of our Party and devoted all his efforts and heart and soul to put forward the people as the most powerful beings in the world and successfully translate the dreams and ideals of the people into reality.
