Becoming the True Parent of Pupils

Changjon Primary School situated in the Central District of Pyongyang also carries a story about meticulous paternal affection of respected Comrade Kim Jong Un for our pupils and children.

This school carries the traces of love left by President Kim Il Sung .

Despite the difficulties after the Fatherland Liberation War, he personally chose the site for this school, built it into a model one and visited several times afterwards.

Chairman Kim Jong Il also visited here several times. When he initiated and led the construction of Changjon Street during the last period of his lifetime, he saw to it that the school associated with the leadership exploits of President Kim Il Sung was newly built.

On May 30, 2012, respected Comrade Kim Jong Un personally visited this school which had been rebuilt on Changjon street, a fairyland street of people, as an educational institute with the highest standards of education condition and environment, true to the noble will of President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il for education of young generation.

At the room dedicated to the history of the school, he heard with deep emotion about the records of revolutionary activities of the great leaders associated with the school.

Looking around classrooms, foreign language study room and computer room, he examined the tables, computer desks and chairs to be used by the pupils and highly appreciated its good quality and neatness.

He expressed his satisfaction over and over as he was so glad that the behest of the great leaders, who loved our schoolchildren and so much and devoted themselves to providing them with all conditions for learning, was realized.

While looking around the school with a broad smile on his face, respected Comrade Kim Jong Un pointed to a side of corridor and said as follows:

It would be good to put long benches with clothes hangers on the one side of the corridor.

The children could leave their wet raincoats and winter coats on the hangers on rainy and snowy days instead of taking them into classrooms. It has now become as a common sense not to take wet raincoats or winter coats into classrooms. Children also can sit on the benches in the corridor and have a break.

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un walked along the corridor and warmly said that he would send relevant officials to the school to collect required information as it is necessary to know the space between classroom doors and the number of benches in order to properly provide the benches with clothes hangers for the school.

In fact, this school building on the new beautiful street was in the most perfect condition. But he still wanted to add something more to it with scrupulous and parental care.

When he came out of the building after looking around the school, he stopped and said again and again that he would send the benches to the school.

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un is a father of our schoolchildren who loves them most just like the great leaders, for he, on that day, brought to the school the love of the great leaders. Under his scrupulous care, our schoolchildren are learning to their hearts’ content and growing up into the pillars of the country.
