One day in February 2017, the respected General Secretary Kim Jong Un visited the newly-built Pyongyang Primary School for Orphans.

The respected General Secretary went round various places of the school for a long time to learn in detail about its operation.

When he dropped in at an education room, he sat down on a school-chair and gave instructions to correct the narrow space between the desk drawer and the chair and to put low bookstands for the common use of books.

Looking at the blackboard, he said that the blackboard using chalk should have a wet cloth and that he would send a sample rubber brush for wiping the blackboard.

He told officials that the modernization of the educational sector and the improvement of the quality of education are the important matter of the state and the important and strategic matter related to the future of the state, adding that there should be no neglect ranging from the even trifling matter in education.

There should be no neglect in education.

With such a noble intention, the respected General Secretary did not miss even a small problem, including the ordinary chairs and blackboard for orphans. -0-
