The construction projects of students’ shoes factories have been completed one after another across the country.

Students’ shoes factories were newly built in Nampho, Wonsan, Phyongsong, Sariwon and Hyesan and those in Hamhung and Chongjin are nearing completion.

The Ministry of Regional Industry grasped the progress in the construction projects of those factories, training of skilled workers, manufacturing and installation of equipment every day and took measures to ensure they were pushed forward as scheduled. It also supplied dozens of pieces of equipment needed for establishing modern production processes to each province and organized passing-on-technique sessions at the advanced footwear production units including the Ryuwon Footwear Factory so that they could be a substantial help to training skilled workers who would work at the students’ shoes factories.

Pyongyang Municipality built a similar factory in a short time, completed the production and installation of equipment in close contact with Kim Chaek University of Technology, Pyongyang University of Mechanical Engineering and other scientific and educational institutions and made full preparations for full-scale production.

Kangwon Province finished the construction of such a factory at a high qualitative level and sent dozens of workers to the Wonsan Leather Shoes Factory and other advanced units to acquire technical skills for operating modern equipment.

Other provinces are now directing efforts to perfecting production processes by introducing the experience gained in those provinces which had completed the construction projects.
