Songga Senior Middle School in Kangdong County in the suburbs of Pyongyang, has been transformed splendidly to become the pride of the county, to say nothing of its teachers, schoolchildren and their parents.
The school has a nearly 80-year history.
The school took its first step as Songga Primary School in Kangdong County. At that time, it had four classrooms, four teachers and 13 schoolchildren.
Choe Song Ho, head of the school, said that the school underwent renovations several times along with the passage of time, but this is the first time for it to be transformed so splendidly as the present one which is not inferior to modern urban schools.
The four-storey building of the school consists of multifunctional classrooms, an educational method research room, a computer network control room, practice rooms related to foodstuff, automobile, needlework and carpentry, rooms for fine arts and music and dance and laboratories of such subjects as physics, chemistry and biology.
The school has also a gym, outdoor swimming pool and playground comprising a football ground covered with artificial turf, a running track and a long jump place.
Choe Song Ho said that teachers are exerting themselves to train brilliant students so as to add brilliance to the name of school and native village at the excellent school provided by the country. Ambitious and enthusiastic teachers work until late at night to make students to retain championship in artistic contests and sports games.
Thanks to their efforts, the school has been successful in different competitions.
Many students won full marks in the recent municipal academic contest to exalt the honour of their school.
Parents often visit the school and see the growth of their children with satisfaction.
The father of a student said that he came to school to see his son playing football at the football ground to his heart’s content, while the mother of the other student beamed happily as she saw her daughter singing at the music group.
Choe Song Ho said that teachers, students and their parents have also changed remarkably thanks to the modernization of the school, expressing belief that overall national prosperity will be brought about by the policy of attaching importance to education of the Workers’ Party and the DPRK government which put forward education as the most important state affair.
