Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un said that science and education is a basis of nation-building and an important index to decide the national strength.
Science and education is a basis of nation-building because a powerful country can be built and independence maintained only when one is high in scientific and technological strength and education.
Powerful country can be said to be a country which is on a position of being a world power in all fields of politics, military and the economy.
Developed scientific and technological strength and high level of education is a way to display fully the might of a political and military power, a shortcut to the building of an independent and modern socialist economy, the knowledge-based economy as soon as possible and a key to good conditions and environment for the people’s cultured and emotional life.
Only by relying on them, can all national progresses be accelerated by dint of science and technology, thus building up the overall national strength and preparing strong force to firmly guarantee the national independence.
Science and education is a basis of nation-building also because the revolution can be continued through generations and the country be ceaselessly developed with prospect only when one’s self-scientific and technological strength is raised and one’s education put on a world level.
Ceaseless development should be made in the sector of science and technology. Only then, is it possible to realize everlasting prosperity of the country by consolidating intellectual resources and scientific potentials of the country.
Talented people are direct performers of scientific and technological development. As days go by, the more the talented people, the more prosperous the country can be. It is mission and task of the educational sector to train talented people, the performers of scientific and technological development, who are the driving force to build a powerful nation in the knowledge-based economic era. It is necessary to put on a world level all such educational works of the country as improving contents and methods, conditions and environment by giving importance to education. Only then, is it possible to train more talented people who can challenge the world, compete with the world and beat the world and hold undisputed command in the technological campaign and the talented campaign.
That science and education is a basis of nation-building is a just idea based on the development trend of knowledge-based economic era and the deep insight of urgent demands of the Korean revolution that has been placed on a new stage.
