The education of the rising generation is an important issue related to the future development of the country. The Workers´ Party of Korea paid deep concern to education even during the hard-fought Fatherland Liberation War against the US imperialists in the 1950s.
When the US imperialists provoked the Korean war on June 25, 1950, the great leader President Kim Il Sung reorganized the educational work on a war footing and wisely led the struggle to actively promote it even in the difficult circumstances.
PresidentKim Il Sung saw that separate lessons were given at schools of different levels and the schools were equipped with air-raid shelters for the life and security of students and evacuated some educational organs to safe places.

Kim Un Gyong, lecturer of the Jonsung Revolutionary Museum, says:

“It was not easy to continue education in the difficult conditions of the war. In Pyongyang City alone, buildings of universities and colleges and tens of secondary and primary schools were all burnt and destroyed by the brutal US imperialists. President Kim Il Sung aroused the whole party and people to the struggle for rehabilitating the destroyed schools and ensuring the educational conditions and wisely led the work to keep training teachers to fully meet the demand for teachers.”

President Kim Il Sung called back the scholars and university teachers from the front to keep writing textbooks and sent a large quantity of paper for publication of textbooks and study of the students during the war. Though the transport of war supplies was on the strain, he took revolutionary measures to transport a large quantity of textbooks, education materials, experimental equipment and teaching aids. His warm love for the rising generation is brilliantly recorded in the history of the Fatherland Liberation War.

In the difficult circumstances of the war, President Kim Il Sung provided all conditions for successful education and called back students from the front to the universities and visited a university under a shower of shells. And he taught that the students should study hard for the motherland to win the war. He also kindly taught the educators about the revolutionary method of education applied during the anti-Japanese armed struggle and took all measures for teachers not to feel any inconvenience in their life. Under his loving care, the school bell rang far and wide as an echo of victory during the war as well, weighing down the cannonade of the enemy. Indeed the bell rung during the war was a bell of love, a bell of victory rung by President Kim Il Sung.
Now the education of Korea has been developed onto a high stage of the universal 12-year compulsory education under the wise leadership of respected Kim Jong Un. The education of Korea will make a greater progress thanks to the correct education policy of the Workers´ Party of Korea.
