Measures are being taken to radically improve general education in the DPRK.
Detailed plans are drawn up to perfect the educational system. In order to make the teaching content practicable, comprehensive and up-to-the-minute, the programme of the universal 12-year compulsory education has been revised and supplemented, advanced teaching methods have been introduced and hobby groups have been run in a distinctive way according to the aptitudes of students.
Schools have not given students homework for this winter vacation. Instead, they have run many more extracurricular hobby groups, thereby gaining a great deal of experience that is helpful to improving the content and method of multiple teaching.
Mirae Primary School in Phyongchon District, Pyongyang, has operated over 40 hobby groups and several teachers have instructed up to three groups.
Information technology senior middle schools will be increased to nearly 200 across the country in the new school year that will begin in April and preparations are being made for increasing the kind of technical senior middle schools in line with the economic and geographical features of the relevant local areas.
And a project for improving educational conditions and environment will be pushed in earnest while turning more than 300 schools into model schools nationwide this year.
