Dear colleagues,
thee brief questions on the North Korean school system (in particular
chung-kodùnghakkyo):
(1) As far as I know, grading is currently done as in Russia, i.e., five
grades with 5 being the highest and 1 being the lowest. Is it true that in
the past, there were 10 grades instead of 5? If so, when was that system
changed?
(2) The revolutionary deeds and revolutionary history of Kim Il-sung are
the first subjects to appear on a school report card. When did this start?
Currently, the revolutionary deeds and history of Kim Jong-il are listed on
second place on the school report card. When was this subject introduced
into the regular curriculum? Presumably after 1980, but this is a pretty
rough estimate...
(3) The same question for the revolutionary history of Kim Chòng-suk.
I am grateful for any hints. I am looking forard to meeting many of you in
Sheffield, all the best
Ruediger
