Education is a most important state affair to which priority should be given and greatest effort should be directed at any time and at any stage and an important undertaking that should make constant progress and should be carried out in the most responsible manner.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un set forth the policy of educational revolution in the new century in his historic talk “Let Us Bring about a Radical Turn in Education in the New Century to Turn Our Country into a Land of Learning, a Talent Power” in August 2014.

The DPRK attaches importance to education more than any other countries in the world and has set itself the goal of building a country with most advanced education in the world. It takes full responsibility for the problems of school things, teaching aids and furnishings and educational equipment and materials and exerts itself to provide educators and students with the best conditions for work and study.

The Eleventh Plenary Meeting of the Eighth Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea specially brought up for discussion the issue of putting the country's educational foundation on a new high level and put forward the ways to that end.

The educational revolution in the new century is a new term of the era which was coined thanks to the noble intention of the respected General Secretary Kim Jong Un to bring about a fresh turn in the education work of the country and thereby turn it into a land of learning and a talent power.
