After the Eighth Congress of the Workers’ Party of Korea, many graduates of universities of education and teachers training colleges volunteered to work at branch schools on islands and schools in frontline and mountainous areas in different parts of the DPRK.

According to data available, the volunteers number more than 800.

In a year after the WPK Congress, many graduates of the universities and colleges volunteered to work at such schools with a determination to implement the Party’s plan to turn as soon as possible their country into a nation that thrives and makes leaps forward by dint of education.

The graduates of Pyongyang Teachers Training College and Kim Jong Suk University of Education volunteered for schools at the foot of Mt Paektu with precious dreams to make the city of Samjiyon, which has turned into a model of modern mountainous city and an ideal socialist town, further resound with the clear voices of reading and laughter of children, and a graduate of Kim Jong Suk Teachers Training College determined to work as a teacher of the school at an army post on an island.

The enthusiasm of similar graduates to implement the Party’s policy of attaching importance to education grew stronger day by day.

This year, too, many similar graduates volunteered to work at such schools with burning enthusiasm to contribute whatever little efforts to translating into reality the noble intention of the Party to build a state which attaches the greatest importance to education and whose education is the most advanced in the world.

Many graduates of Nampho University of Education, Chongjin O Jung Hup University of Education, Kanggye University of Education, Haeju Kim Jong Thae University of Education and Hamhung Choe Hui Suk Teachers Training College volunteered for schools in remote mountainous areas with a desire to repay the benevolence of the socialist system which brought them up to become university and college graduates.
