Education in North Korea is free from primary school to university. Where did this policy come from?

As the saying goes, "No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education, and no matter how bitter you are, you can't be poor in children." North Korean leaders are well aware of this and can be said to have made every effort to develop education in North Korea. The Korean party and government attach great importance to education. Before liberation, 75% of the population was illiterate. Now almost everyone has received education and basically reached the secondary school education level. The enrollment rate in North Korea has increased from 35% to 100%. North Korea now has more than 300 universities at all levels. Since 20 13, 12 compulsory education has been implemented nationwide.

Not only education, but also North Korea's medical policy is very close to the people. Many free medical policies. Although North Korea is not a very developed country, it can be seen from the aspects of education and medical care that the growth environment of children and adolescents in North Korea is quite good.

This phenomenon of universal education in North Korea is also intuitively presented to people all over the world. Traveling to North Korea, there is almost no chance to contact local residents alone. Most of them are North Korean children, who walk to and from school all over the street or ride bicycles to and from school. The tour guide said that North Korean children have been attending primary school by themselves since the first grade, and few parents have come to pick them up.

North Korea, on the other hand, provides free education, tuition and miscellaneous fees, stationery fees and so on. It is all solved by the state, and two sets of school uniforms for the first grade of primary school are also uniformly distributed by the state. Students are also free to choose interest groups.

Although North Korea's international strength is relatively weak, its economic conditions are not very good. However, North Korean leaders believe that the development of national education is an important measure to determine the rise and fall of the country. They have been working hard to make North Korea an educational power and a training base for advanced skilled personnel. This concept has just become the basis for the state to attach importance to the development of education.
