The first step taken after graduation

Date: 06/05/2025 | Source: Pyongyang Times | Read original version at source

Among more than 300 young people in North Hamgyong Province who volunteered to work at major sites of socialist construction in January this year, there are university graduates who settled at the revolutionary battle site management station in the area of the Paektusan Secret Camp, newly-built regional-industry factories, the Jungphyong Greenhouse Farm, etc.

They expressed their determination to devote all their strength and wisdom to the country, saying it is the duty of university graduates to shoulder the heavy burden on the country before others and add youth and vitality to the motherland.

Many other university graduates across the country also settled in the revolutionary battle sites in the area of Mt Paektu and schools in mountainous areas.

The graduates of the History Faculty of Phyongsong University of Education said they volunteered to work as lecturers of the revolutionary battle sites in the Mt Paektu area with the resolve to become standard-bearers in the field of ideological work who convey forever the immortal revolutionary history and exploits of the peerlessly great persons and implant the revolutionary spirit of Paektu into the people.

True to the intention of the Workers’ Party of Korea and the state, which put forward education as the primary state affair to which priority should be given and the greatest effort should be devoted at any time and in any stage and as the most responsible and important affair that should make steady progress, university graduates of the capital city and graduates of universities of education and teachers training colleges across the country took the first step of their education work at schools in remote mountain and island villages.

Among the graduates of Phyongsong University of Education and Phyongsong Teachers Training College, who keenly felt the gratitude to the socialist system as they built the tower of knowledge high at their bright campuses, there are those who offered to work at schools in mountainous counties and schools for students with disabilities out of a sincere desire to fulfil their hopes by getting them to learn to their heart’s content without slight gloom.

And among the volunteers for the schools in outlying island villages there is a graduate who has followed in the footsteps of the parents who had volunteered as teachers at a mountain village school a long time ago.
