Today is the International Day of Education.

Proceeding from the renewed recognition of the important role of education in achieving peace and development, the UN General Assembly designated the “International Day of Education” with the aim of encouraging the development of the equitable and quality education.

Eight years have passed since then.

Not with standing these efforts, the data released by UNESCO shows that a large number of children and adolescents fail to attend school and hundreds of millions globally cannot read nor do basic calculation.

This mirrors the present gloomy situation of the global education.

But it is a different story for children and students in the DPRK who hold in high esteem respected Marshal Kim Jong Un as their father.

All of them are growing into the masters of future, enjoying the benefits of the universal compulsory free education system, wherever they are.

In July 2024, a record-level flood swept several parts of our country.

Respected Marshal Kim Jong Un personally went out to the dangerous flood-hit area to organize and command the rescue operation on the spot. He was deeply concerned with the child rearing and suspension of education during rehabilitation.

He repeatedly said that the rehabilitation would take months but it should not affect education of children. He took measures to put in place the emergency system where the state takes full responsibility and ensures upbringing and education of children and students from flood-affected areas in a safe and comfortable environment.

Thanks to the warm care of respected Marshal Kim Jong Un, thousands of children and students from flood-hit areas were invited to the capital city of Pyongyang as special guests and could learn to their hearts’ content and in the best conditions for 130 days until the completion of rehabilitation project.

130 days can be said to be a moment in one’s lifetime.

But even one single moment could not be missed in educating our children thanks to the noble love for posterity cherished by respected Marshal Kim Jong Un who sets the upbringing and education of children as the prime state affair which can be surpassed by none.

Indeed, the warm care of the great father fully guarantees the right to education for all children across the country.
