Pyongyang Kyongsang Kindergarten and Preschool Education



Ordinance of the Supreme People’s Assembly of the DPRK published on September 25, Juche 101(2012) “On enforcing the universal 12 year compulsory education” calls for making one or two models like Pyongyang Kyongsang Kindergarten in every province (city under direct jurisdiction) and generalizing it in all kindergartens of the country..
It is very important to provide all kindergartens in charge of one-year preschool education, the first stage of the universal 12-year compulsory education, with conditions of education as required by the era.
The Korean Party and state saw to it that Pyongyang Kyongsang Kindergarten built in the 1960s was reconstructed in an updated manner when building Changjon Street in Juche 101(2012).
Today Pyongyang Kyongsang Kindergarten serves as a model kindergarten of the new century that is provided with all conditions for the education of children and their growth such as education room, sleeping room, different playgrounds, dining hall and paddling pool.
The respected Marshal Kim Jong Un, First Secretary of the WPK and First Chairman of the National Defense Commission of the DPRK, visited the newly built kindergarten twice in Juche 101(2012).
Stressing the importance of preschool education, he solved all problems arising in the management of the kindergarten.
The DPRK has enforced one-year preschool education for all children in kindergartens since Juche 61(1972) under the universal 11-year compulsory education system.
The Pyongyang Kyongsang Kindergarten like all other kindergartens in the DPRK implants love for the country deep in the hearts of children and teaches Korean language, counting and other subjects of basic knowledge.
The kindergarten is also fully equipped with different playgrounds and gymnastic and amusement facilities suitable to the children’s mind.
Corridors, walls and other spaces are all decorated to help educate children.
The kindergarten channeled utmost efforts into training music prodigies and registered many successes.
In particular, it established the early music education system to teach children how to play national instruments, piano, violin and cello.
Today many children possessed of musical talent in Pyongyang give full swing to their learning.
Many children who finished the early music education course go on to Pyongyang Kim Won Gyun Conservatory and other music schools and grow as promising artists.
Children of the kindergarten participated in international festivals in Moscow in Juche 100(2011) and Juche 101(2012), being highly admired for their talent for art.
It is Korean education view on the rising generation to make the children prepare as well-qualified workers in future by strengthening the education for them from kindergarten days.
The DPRK makes strives to generalize a model like Kyongsang Kindergarten widely to improve the preschool education and give play to the vitality and superiority of the universal 12-year compulsory education.
