Upbringing of Children Guaranteed by Law

Today is World Children’s Day.

In December 1954, the United Nations General Assembly designated November 20 as the World Children’s Day at its 9 th Session with a view to making greater efforts for the rights and well-being of the children who are the masters of the future.

Nursing and upbringing of children is one of criteria for evaluating the future of a certain society as well as its commitment to human rights.

In the DPRK, children are highly valued and cared as the kings and queens of the country and brought up into future masters and strong pillars of the state, pursuant to the state law which stipulates that all children should be reared at State and public expense.

The Law of the DPRK on the Nursing and Upbringing of Children stipulates as follows:

“The State shall rear all children in nurseries and kindergartens at State and public expense.”

Wherever there are children, the DPRK has nurseries, kindergartens and schools, even in the mountainous regions and far-flung islands, not to mention the urban and rural areas. And from here, children are lively growing up into the future masters.

The DPRK has set it as an important policy to provide the coming generations with happy life and has strongly pushed ahead with it without being affected by conditions.

The endless happy laughter of our children owes to such grateful socialist system.

Around the world, there are not a few countries where children are becoming the first victims of war and all sorts of social evils and reduced to marginalized group.

Japan annually records countless cases of child abuse and high child mortality rate. On November 8, there was a horrible incident where a mother in Osaka killed her two-year-old daughter in a flat.

There is no future for the country which neither loves nor cares for posterity.

Our children are the happiest ones in the world as they are growing up under the warm care of respected Comrade Kim Jong Un who is endowed with the love for posterity, and the future of our country is so bright.
