Dreams and Hopes Guaranteed by State Policy

The latest 4th Plenary Meeting of the 8th Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) successfully reviewed the start of the great change and advance in the socialist construction. The policy of love for the coming generation adopted at the Meeting has touched the hearts of all people of the country, drawing worldwide attention.

Special measures for the coming generation are continuously taken at every important meeting which discusses the political affairs of the Party and the state in our country. Yet an important measure was again taken at the Meeting to provide, at the state's expense, all the students across the country with new-style, high-quality school uniforms and bags.

Such world-surprising reality is inconceivable apart from the love of General Secretary Kim Jong Un who has made the supply of new school uniforms a policy, saying that it should be a must, not affected by the financial availability.

It is reportedly estimated that in the world, more than 1.2 billion children are forced into miserable life because of the armed conflicts and poverty, 123 million children are deprived of the right to learning, 1 out of 10 children is forced into child labor, and 1 billion children are suffering from violence and maltreatment…

As these statistics illustrate, those children are fated to find themselves on the battlefields in militant uniforms rather than go to school in school uniforms, and to leave their beloved homeland and wander around carrying refugee packages instead of schoolbags in their prime time of learning.

These are the miserable scenes of the children – a commonplace in any part of the present world.

By contrast, in socialist Korea, the state makes the children’s precious dreams come true under its responsibility, taking the place of the tens of millions of parents.

On this land, all the children are bringing their beautiful dreams into blossom by carrying our lovely schoolbags and using stationery with brand names like “Sonamu” (pine tree), “Mindulle” (dandelion), “Haebaragi” (sunflower) and “Durumi” (crane), thanks to the warm love of the great father who takes whatever burdens and pains for the coming generation even in the face of global health crisis.

Our country is globally envied and lauded as a paradise for children where the precious dreams and hopes of the coming generation are fully guaranteed by the eternal state policy under the endless and benevolent love of our dear father.
