Construction projects are now pushed ahead in education units throughout the country.

According to data available, more than 120 projects have so far been completed this year and over 50 percent of the total workload for the projects under way has been carried out on average.

The central command team for school construction directs efforts to the supply of materials in close contact with provinces, cities and counties and regularly acquaints itself with the progress of school construction to press on with it.

Ministries, national agencies, relevant sectors and units have also taken an active part in the construction and furnishing of schools.

As a result, the construction of schools, branch schools, kindergartens and branch kindergartens went full steam ahead in Pyongyang Municipality and North and South Phyongan, South Hwanghae, Jagang and other provinces.

Jongju City and Songwon County are paying close attention to the work for substantially providing teachers with good conditions for their work and living as well as school construction.

Pukchong County has set itself a goal of completing three schools and four branch schools by October this year and senior county officials have taken charge of their construction.

The new schools under construction are all three-storeyed buildings with an enormous workload.

The county officials are mobilizing all the potentials of the county with strong determination to provide the younger generation with excellent places for learning by their own efforts as intended by the Workers’ Party of Korea, which has put education forward as the number one state affair.

Various units in Pyongyang are rendering positive assistance to schools and kindergartens.

The Pyongyang Municipal Power Distribution Station plays the role of active parents and supporters, contributing greatly to improving the educational conditions and environment of different schools and kindergartens.

From the viewpoint that the education of the coming generations is the work for themselves and a sacred undertaking for shaping the future of the country, the officials and employees of the station sent a large quantity of modern educational facilities and sporting goods to Pyongyang Primary School for Orphans, Wonam Primary School in Rangnang District, Ryonghung Kindergarten No. 2 in Taesong District and others.

Tongdaewon District of Pyongyang sent many toys and foodstuffs to Sinhung Kindergarten No. 1, while taking appropriate measures to supply materials and manpower needed for sprucing it up.

Officials and researchers of the Zoology Institute of the State Academy of Sciences made over 300 stuffed animals with a desire to make a positive contribution to training the younger generation to become talents with high intellectual and creative abilities and sent them to schools across the country.

Taedonggang District also puts in sincere efforts to strengthen the material foundations of educational units by providing them with computer and other teaching aids and materials needed for sprucing up schools.
