Kim In Ok, teacher of Rungna Senior Middle School in Taedonggang District, Pyongyang, which is affiliated to Kim Hyong Jik University of Education, has an unusual special skill in finding the buds of students’ talents in good time and cultivating them.

Last year, too, she discovered the bud of a student’s aptitude for writing poems in a composition written by the student and developed it so that the latter could take the first place in the district’s composition contest.

Over ten students trained by her gave pleasure to the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un by creating excellent works and several other students became winners of “Our Classroom” Literature Prize and Youth Literature Prize. Her high teaching ability and broad knowledge enabled her to win top and first prizes in several rounds of national teaching contest, and in 2022 alone 24 students trained by her entered central universities. 

She is giving selfless assistance in improving the teaching ability of new teachers and is taking the lead in helping rural schools with their work.
