The distance education system, which runs on a nationwide scale in the DPRK, plays a big role in training broad sections of working people to be intelligent workers.

According to the noble intention of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un to train all the working people to be intelligent workers possessed of modern science and technology, a well-regulated online education system was established as a study-while-you-work system for all the people and bases for the diffusion of science and technology were built across the DPRK in order to enable working people to acquire sci-tech knowledge to their heart's content, and the law on distance education was adopted to guarantee it by law.

Distance education enables everyone to receive higher education regardless of time and place and therefore working people of all social standing hope to receive it.

At present many working people are involved in the system to acquire sci-tech knowledge and make a big contribution to the development of their units.

Those who completed the online education course play a big role in modernizing production processes and developing new products and the reality clearly proves the advantages of distance education.

According to information available, over 131 000 working people are now studying under the system across the country.

Officials in the education sector work hard to develop the higher education system of studying while working in conformity with the requirements of the age of knowledge-based economy.

The universities running the online education system have pushed ahead with the work to make teaching contents practical, comprehensive and up-to-date in the direction of bringing the contents closer to the practical requirements of the production sites, while continuously increasing the number of study subjects of distance education.

They have also updated the online education system while developing and introducing an intelligent education management system and made remarkable progress in putting the education on a scientific and practical basis.

Agricultural universities that established a distance education system this year have produced hundreds of online education presentations for each course and subject and distance education faculties of different universities have made steady efforts to raise their educational level.

The online education of the DPRK which has emerged as a powerful means for all-people study according to the plan and under the leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea makes rapid progress day by day to turn working people into intelligent workers.
