There was a meeting of the permanent commission of the Standing Committee of the Supreme People’s Assembly of the DPRK.

The meeting tabled and deliberated on the issues of amendment and supplementation of such DPRK laws as on industrial design, vocational education, general education and inspection of imports and exports before adopting relevant decrees.

The law on industrial design has specified in a more detailed way the contents needed for positively developing industrial design, including the organization and provision of conditions for field activities to create industrial designs, mass-based industrial design creation, recording of the results of deliberation of industrial designs and browsing service and dissemination of design data.

Some of the provisions of the law on vocational education have been amended and supplemented including those related to the organization of vocational schools, making of teaching plans and programmes, training and appointment of lecturers and the supply of textbooks, school fixtures and apparatuses for experiments and practical training.

The law on general education has specified in detail the issues arising in strengthening general education including the new definition of the age for compulsory secondary general education, improvement of educational administration and environment, qualifications of teachers and organization of education and edification according to educational programmes.

Some provisions of the law on the inspection of imports and exports have become more concrete, including those related to the responsibility and role of inspectors, submission, examination and confirmation of applications for inspection of import-export goods, places for inspecting them and guidance over their inspection. This has made it possible to enforce a stricter discipline and order in their inspection and thereby contribute to ensuring the quality and quantity of such goods and stability in trade transactions.
