Held Higher than the Sky

People usually liken the highest, the most sacred and the most precious things to the sky.

And if one says that there is someone higher than the sky, people may throw doubt on it.

Held higher than our people whom our Party regards as the sky are our children.

This is not just the words said by a writer or a poet but the teachings of respected Comrade Kim Jong Un who loves our children the most.

At the 4th plenary meeting of the 8 th Party Central Committee, respected Comrade Kim Jong Un solemnly declared that it is our Party’s policy and the eternal policy of our Republic to give top priority to providing new school uniforms and schoolbags for our children unconditionally and took important measures to spend a large sum of money on providing the children all across the country with new uniforms and schoolbags.

He paid so much attention to the issue of providing well-fitting uniforms for every child since they are different in height and weight.

And when he met with senior officials of the Party Central Committee on one day of September 2022, he said that every child can be provided with well-fitting uniforms if teachers learn and take the children’s measures.

This is how new school uniforms, school shoes, school bags and stationeries were supplied to every new primary school, high school and college student across the country during hard days of 2022 when our country faced grave challenges and threats in the midst of public health crisis caused by inflow of COVID-19 and the unprecedented political and military provocations of the hostile forces.

There are so many stories of famous people who loved and cared for children, and not a few politicians advocate the childcare policy.

But there is no one like respected Comrade Kim Jong Un who finds happiness and honor in taking all the burdens to protect the children’s happy laughter.

Foreign friends, therefore, said that “In capitalist society, politicians quite often advocate children’s welfare, improvement of atmosphere and quality of the education but don’t hesitate to embezzle fund for childcare, if necessary.

But in socialist Korea, the education of younger generation is regarded as the most important state affair and children and students are provided with school uniforms, different kinds of stationeries and school bags every season.

This is the stark contrast between the socialist Korea and the capitalist countries in their views on children.”

Happy laughter of children, who are held higher than the sky under the warm care of respected Comrade Kim Jong Un , will resonate forever.
