Strenuous efforts are being made to diffuse the advanced teaching methods and experience obtained at schools in downtown Pyongyang to rural schools in the suburbs.

“We ensure that instructors at teachers in-service training centres of all districts take charge of some schools in rural areas to help them solve problems arising in teaching practice, while arranging demonstration lessons according to school types,” said Ri Yong Jin, director of the Pyongyang Municipal Teachers Retraining Centre.

The prearranged events that prove effective include the online joint inspection of a class at work, the meeting for joint review of a class and the demonstration lesson using videoconferencing.

The municipal authorities encourage teachers at suburban schools to set themselves ambitious goals in improving their qualifications and help them in a methodological way to become proficient not only in their special subjects but also in adjacent disciplines.

The municipal teachers retraining centre and district teachers’ in-service training centres contrived multimedia presentations according to school types and subjects and built large databases containing information about the latest educational development trend to diffuse them to rural schools.

The municipality also attaches importance to providing those schools with material and technical assistance including educational equipment, software, e-media, intelligence books, such teaching materials as model teaching plans and reference books.

“This year lots of graduates from suburban schools were enrolled at universities and other schools of higher grade, which is partly attributable to the efforts of instructors at the municipal teachers retraining centre to improve the qualifications of teachers in rural areas,” said Ri Yong Jin.
