June 6 this year marks the 77 th founding anniversary of the Korean Children’s Union (KCU).
Greeting this holiday – a significant day for the members of the KCU, founded and developed under the care of the peerlessly great men – our people warmly look back on the great efforts of President Kim Il Sung who devoted his all to better learning environment for our children and pupils, the bright future of the country.
One of many touching stories, is about the session of the political committee of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea (WPK), convened to discuss on school construction in early June, 1969.
In 1969, our country saw a sharp increase in the number of school-age children born after the war, falling short of thousands of classrooms as a rough estimate.
Given that we then had to accomplish the important yet challenging historical task of socialist industrialization, it was a heavy burden, both economically and financially, to build thousands of classrooms in a short time. Workers needed for the construction was another issue to be solved.
However, President Kim Il Sung , who was endowed with love for posterity and spared nothing for them, convened the political committee of the Central Committee of the WPK to address the classroom issue before anything else, despite the country’s difficult situation and many other important things awaiting solution.
He explained to the officials the urgent need for school construction and said it could not be solved by simply building a few hundreds and using other buildings as a temporary measure. The optimal solution is for the whole people all over the country to build new school buildings, even if it means spending every cent in the state’s coffers, he stressed.
He then proposed taking a decision to build ten thousand new classrooms. He put forward such detailed ways as provision of expenses and construction materials by the state and labor forces by all the construction enterprises, and even from all ministries and central organs including the Party Central Committee and the secretariat of the Cabinet, in case of need.
He concluded the meeting saying that it was a meeting of the parents’ association. He called on the officials over and over again to give their heart and soul to this work for the coming generation.
In the annals of human history has many stories of famous people who became a “carriage” for their beloved grandchildren and donated large sums of money for the poor children. But never has been told a story about such a benevolent father like President Kim Il Sung who even convened a Party meeting to discuss the building of classrooms for the schoolchildren with parental affection for them.
Hence the progressive peoples of the world today highly praise President Kim Il Sung who embodied noble affection for the future generation and wrote numerous stories of love. They envy our country, calling it a paradise for the children, which shines ever brighter under the leadership of respected Comrade Kim Jong Un .
