His Noble Outlook on Posterity

There is an elegant and trim school near the Mangyongdae Revolutionary Site in the historic place. It is Mangyongdae Senior Middle School associated with benevolence of President Kim Il Sung, our fatherly leader.

The President visited the construction site of the school on September ２, １９５８.

At that time the country was in difficulty due to postwar rehabilitation work. However, the President put forward the education work for posterity as the important issue directly related to the destiny of the country and prospect of the revolution and paid deep attention to providing our children with better educational conditions and environment.

That day the President gave detailed instructions for building the school, stressing the need to educate students well so that they could manage schools and villages in a hygienic and cultured way from their early years and properly select and allocate teachers.

Thanks to his benevolence and great efforts, the school was inaugurated in October that year.

In April １９６１, the President visited the school to see the children in Mangyongdae bravely growing up to be pillars of the future.

He went round the school for a long time. He said that the school was located in a very scenic spot and on the third floor he had a bird’s-eye-view of Pyongyang, impressively recalling that the school where he had studied in his childhood had been small.

That day, he delightfully looked at the children in new school uniforms studying to their heart’s content with a broad smile on his face.

After a while, he found a student wearing worn-out shoes and his face shadowed. The President asked about the child’s family circumstances and learned that he was deprived of his father. Then the President called an official and instructed him to provide the student with a pair of shoes soon.

That day, the President said that it was possible to bring up the students to be able scientific and technological talents when intensifying education of foreign languages. He also stressed the need to conduct well the class education and education in communism.

This is not all.

One evening in December １９６８, the President summoned some students of the school who were in new school uniforms for winter.

He threw his eyes to a student who was smaller than others. Acquainting himself with the student’s family circumstances, the President stressed the need to make the students actively play sports such as volleyball, basketball and horizontal bar as well as feeding fish to them.

Not long after, experts were sent to the school and the playground of the school was filled with sporting equipment.

The above-said stories are only a few of stories about the great loving care of the President associated with Mangyongdae Senior Middle School.

President Kim Il Sung always lives in the hearts of our people as a benevolent father along with happy laughter and singing of our children.
