Culture 2024.5.8.


True to the intention of the Workers’ Party of Korea which set it forth as an important political task to narrow the differences in the level of education between urban and rural areas, the education sector actively conducts the work for providing rural schools with good instructional resources.

The Ministry of Education is sending rural schools video recordings of lectures and programs of model lectures to which superior teaching methods have been applied.

First of all, it is making video recordings of lectures on a high qualitative level.

To this end, the ministry selected excellent teachers in Pyongyang, North Phyongan Province and Nampho Municipality and other areas and inspired them organizationally and politically to take an active part in this undertaking.

It has established a well-ordered examination system and sees to it that every video recording is completed in a way that it can contribute to improving the qualities of rural school teachers and the pupils’ intellectual and creative abilities.

Aware of the importance of their tasks, the selected teachers, officials and other teachers of units like the Pedagogical Institute and Kim Hyong Jik University of Education who are in charge of editing are displaying a high sense of responsibility.

Also, it is making model school programs in a planned way.

The ministry pays primary attention to choosing those which are helpful in improving teachers’ abilities among new teaching methods.

On this basis, it intensifies political and pedagogical guidance for perfecting the teaching methods in conformity with the pupil’s age and their psychological characters and according to subjects on one hand.

It is pushing ahead with program making in a substantial way on the other hand.

While preparing plenty of teaching resources, the ministry also rouses the officials to provide material foundation to rural schools and branch schools in mountainous regions for the sufficient dissemination of instructional resources.

Consequently, many model lecture programs and video recordings of lectures which enable pupils to think independently and creatively from childhood are being disseminated to rural schools and production of thousands of education programs is in full swing.

Meanwhile, rural schools actively engage themselves in introducing the advanced teaching methods.
