Education Is the Mother of Science
2024.09.13.

Now attaching primary importance to education and talented persons has become the definite social spirit and national customs, and the slogan “Let us make a leap forward by dint of education and guarantee the future by means of education” has been materialized into practice. In this brilliant reality, all our people earnestly reiterate the new coinage “Education is the mother of science”.

As we think over it, ringing in our ears is the meaningful teaching given by General Secretary Kim Jong Un at the 5th Plenary Meeting of the 7th Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea in December, Juche 108(2019): Science is an engine that drives the development of the economy, while education is the mother of science.

What a profound world is reflected in this precious teaching!

This is really a valuable proposition which teaches us the philosophical principle that a huge contingent of talented persons who will shoulder the scientific and technological development of the country can be trained only on the fertile soil of education.

At present, education, which is a patriotic undertaking of ever-lasting significance for the prosperity of the country and nation, represents the top priority of state affairs and the lifeline for building a powerful socialist nation.

We must rely on talented persons, science and technology if we are to build up our own strength, create a greater amount of wealth for self-sufficiency and ultimately frustrate sanctions and blockade by the enemy on the strength of self-reliance. To this end, we should pay primary attention to education. The building of an educational and talent power is immediately that of an economic power and a powerful socialist nation.

“Education is the mother of science” – it is a new coinage which has come into being amidst the fierce flame of radical improvement of education in the new century flaring up throughout the country in accordance with the lofty intention of General Secretary Kim Jong Un to turn our country into a country of education, a talent power.

Indeed, this new coinage, which touches the heartstrings of all people across the county, is associated with the far-reaching intention of General Secretary Kim Jong Un to proudly turn our country into a powerful socialist nation which puts a great effort on education to have the sea of talented people and leaps forward by dint of science.
