For the Rising Generations in DPR Korea

-Future of My Fatherland Will Be Brighter and More Beautiful Under the Love of Great Father

All the schoolchildren and students of the country entering into sun-shining campus have received new school uniforms, textbooks and school things.

Whenever we look at their happy faces, all the people fall in deep emotion for the fraternal love of our Party which is growing bigger with the passage of time.

In retrospect, all the people who were born in this country grew up, learning to their hearts’ content without nothing to envy in the world with new school uniforms, textbooks and school things being provided by our Party and state.

It can be said that the history of school uniform in our country started from the days of anti-Japanese armed struggle when President Kim Il Sung saw to that members of Children’s Corps at Maanshan who were suffering from cold and hunger in worn-out clothes are dressed in new clothes with 20 won he kept with good care as his mother’s legacy.

Early in the days of building a new country after liberation, President gave programmatic teachings to make school uniforms every year for the students of universities and colleges, and he took a measure of love in the post-war period to make sure that the state provides children with clothes free of charge.

Even though the country was in a difficult situation, he saw to that all the schoolchildren of primary schools across the country are provided with school uniforms by the state from 1958. In 1959, he also made sure that all the students in the country, which is equivalent to one fourth of the total population, are provided with new school uniforms at the same time on the same day.

Even in the difficult period when things are tight, Chairman Kim Jong Il solved all the problems to ensure uninterrupted supply of school uniforms, and he made this work to be turned into the one which should be pushed forward by the whole Party and state.

It is the noble outlook of President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il on posterity and future that as the love is much more devoted to the coming generations, the future of our fatherland will be more prosperous, civilized and beautiful. Thanks to the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un who remains true to this outlook, the popular policies continue to be exercised to provide children with new uniforms at the expense of the state and the government throughout generations and years.

At the end of last year, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un took an important measure to supply all the schoolchildren in the country with newly designed high-quality school uniforms and bags, and stressed that we should carry the hearts of President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il to make devoted efforts to the production of school uniforms.

Besides, he personally had a look at various designs of school uniform and gave detailed teachings on types of schoolboy uniforms, colors of schoolgirl uniforms and skirt braces of the primary schoolgirls.

To our respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, the design of school uniform was not a mere picture drawn on a paper but happy faces of the students and their parents who would be glad over new school uniforms. It was also an image of the fatherland and the future that will be brighter.

The picture of our fatherland which became more splendid and more beautiful with the bright faces of the students in new school uniforms is a masterpiece of socialism that can be found only in our country which can never be possessed or imitated by capitalism.

As we hold in high esteem the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un who considers the work for the coming generations as a top priority, this masterpiece will shine as a new scenery of the powerful socialist Korea.

-School Starts with Spring

This year too, under the soft beams of April’s sunlight, many children throughout the country are entering the arch of learning with their hearts buoyed up and beating high.

Under the benefits of state that shoulders the full burden of and responsibility for education, children, smartly dressed in new styles of school uniforms that suit their ages and psychological characteristics, are attending the opening ceremony of the school year with joy of having received nice sets of stationery and gifts.

Our land in spring became ever brighter and more beautiful as the children are smiling happily with their eyes shining as a star, and are singing the benefit of the 12-year compulsory education, wearing new school uniforms and carrying nice schoolbags.

Under the noble intention of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un to bring up our posterity to be the great talents receiving excellent education under the best system and condition, our education is now taking on its appearance as the most advanced one which goes ahead by making the greatest strides.

Our country is now focusing its investment on education and enforcing the universal 12-year compulsory education whereas capitalist countries are clinging to retrenchment policy and reduction of budgets in public sectors.  Foreign guests who witnessed such a reality of our country did not spare their admiration, saying that the DPRK is increasing national investment in education, no country in the world enforces universal 12-year compulsory education except the DPRK, and what can’t go unheeded is that all education in the DPRK is free of charge.

As we uphold in high esteem the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un who embellishes the flower garden of Juche-oriented education, the road to school which starts with the spring will lie beautiful forever.

-Whistle of Love for Posterity - Unique on This Planet

Train is normally regarded a means of transportation for carrying passengers or freights in large quantity. In our country, however, it is taken synonymous with the love for coming generations.

In our country where mountains take up nearly 80% of the whole territory, various means of commuting to schools are in operation to ensure the attendance at schools even for the children in the northern highlands, including Ryanggang Province and Jagang Province, and in the sparsely populated remote areas, and one of the means is commuter train for schoolchildren.

In earlier times, the children living in the remote mountain areas had to wake up early in the morning to go to school because the schools are far away and the roads are rugged, and their parents also had to spend busy time from the early morning to prepare for their children going to schools.

Such an agony of children and their parents living in mountain areas came to be finally removed when President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il took measures to operate commuter trains for them.

The arrival of the commuter trains helped decrease the commute of the schoolchildren from 90 minutes to 15 minutes, and the number of trains increased along with the growing number of schoolchildren, and waiting halls were newly built in the train stations to enable the schoolchildren to study while waiting, though shortly, for the trains.

The operational expenses for trains are entirely borne by the state, and intermediate stations or elegant stations are arranged even for two or three schoolchildren.

The commuter trains born of the benevolent measures taken by the President and the Chairman are conveying the legends of love through generations, as they run as ever along the railway track.

Now, respected Comrade Kim Jong Un regards the children as the kings and queens of the country and spares nothing for them. He ensured that the commuter trains for our schoolchildren run at all times, the children’s camp at the picturesque area in Songdowon is renovated into children’s palace of modern style, and exclusive trains are arranged for carrying children from Pyongyang railway station directly to the gate of camp.

Moreover, he saw to it that all the conditions of exclusive trains meet the world standards in a way that TV screen is installed in each cabin to display cartoons and various shows helpful for teaching common knowledge.

Even in the period of arduous march and forced march forced by the attempts of the hostile forces to isolate and stifle the DPRK in 1990s, the commuter trains never stopped running, and the whistle of commuter trains continues to resound in the face of the difficult time of global health crisis.

In this world, there would be no other country where trains are operated for a few children even at the economic loss. The reality where commuter trains are running for just two or three children, and exclusive trains for children are arranged is unimaginable in the capitalist countries where only economic interests are counted.

So much so that foreign friends who witnessed the happy life of our children expressed their excited feelings that they came to know the true meaning of “kings and queens” being referred to the children in the DPRK; children in the DPRK are genuine kings and queens of the country; they want to be born in the DPRK if they are blessed with an opportunity to be born again; and the children in the DPRK are really the happiest in the world.

The legendary tales unfolded in the DPRK can be written only in the socialist country enjoying the politics of the people’s leaders who care and love most the coming generations.

-A Precious Treasure of Priceless Worth

We still can never forget the broadly smiling image of respected Comrade Kim Jong Un who was so glad to see the children of ordinary working people receiving medical treatment in the palatial hospital when he visited Okryu Children’s Hospital on March 21, 2014.

Okryu Children’s Hospital is a modern and comprehensive children’s hospital that respected Comrade Kim Jong Un personally selected its site to be built at a place opposite to Pyongyang Maternity Hospital. He also reviewed the miniature of its design for dozens of times and saw to it that it was completed at world standard.

On July 16, 2013, a pouring wet day, respected Comrade Kim Jong Un visited the insecure construction site of the children’s hospital when the frame construction had been just finished. He ensured that the hospital is equipped with a complete set of modern, cutting-edge medical equipment and all sorts of fixtures, ambulances and cars for management and operation, and took a solicitous step to build even a helicopter landing site, saying that no expense should be spared for the children.

On October 5, 2013, he again visited the children’s hospital just before its completion and personally named it as “Okryu Children’s Hospital”, saying that the word “Okryu” with the meaning of the flow of water so clean and fresh like bead is a good word symbolizing Pyongyang together with “Ryugyong”.

A few days later, the opening ceremony of Okryu Children’s Hospital was held with splendor on the occasion of the founding anniversary of the Workers’ Party of Korea.

After having looked around Okryu Children’s Hospital which was built in a modern style to capture juvenile fancy, foreigners from various countries opened their hearts as follows; this reminds us of a palace rather than a mere hospital, it is impressive to see that the juvenile in-patients can continue their study in the education rooms built in the hospital, we can hardly believe that such excellent equipment are bought at high prices to give free medical services to the children and we are so envious of the children who are living in such a wonderful country.

Indeed, respected Comrade Kim Jong Un values the children as a precious treasure of priceless worth, and gives them prominence as all of the hope and future. As we uphold him in high esteem as great father, Korean revolution will advance in victory forever by dint of the strength of love for posterity and future.
