The national literacy rate for citizens at age of 15 and older is 100 percent. Children go through one year of kindergarten, four years of primary education, six years of secondary education, and then on to university. North Korea’s education system is very important for all Korean citizens because the core Korean teachings are infused through education. Students in North Korea are taught the communist ideology and also the greatness of their leaders such as Kim Jong II and Kim II Sung through education. The subjects taught are also directed towards science and technology to enable students to be the future technicians, scientists, and workers to achieve the country’s goals.]]> 2018-01-24 15:20:44 UTC https://padlet.com/fuentesnathalie479/NorthKorea/wish/224257619 fuentesnathalie479 https://padlet.com/fuentesnathalie479/NorthKorea/wish/224260887 In 1948 the country emerged amongst the chaos following the end of World War II. North Korea is one of the few countries still under nominally communist rule. For years North Korea has been one of the world's most secretive societies. The totalitarian state also stands accused of systematic human rights abuses. "Voters" in North Korea will go to the polls on March 9th to elect deputies to the Supreme People’s Assembly (SPA), whose members are chosen every five years. Everyone over 17 is obliged to vote.They are presented with a single candidate in the district where they live. These candidates are chosen by the Democratic Front for the Reunification of the Fatherland, the governing coalition, which is controlled by the Workers' Party. Abstaining or voting no would be a dangerous act of treason.]]> 2018-01-24 15:26:37 UTC https://padlet.com/fuentesnathalie479/NorthKorea/wish/224260887 fuentesnathalie479 https://padlet.com/fuentesnathalie479/NorthKorea/wish/224272342 The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in North Korea was worth 16.12 billion US dollars in 2015.

I'm not sure they even know what human rights are. The government believes they should punish you and three generations of your family for any wrong doings. Allowing sovereignty in North Korea is equivalent to us agreeing with the way they run their country. Instead of North Korea's leaders using their power for good and helping their people advance they are using their power for bad and taking advantage of the living situation their people are in. North Koreas government does not even allow them to have freedom of speech the way we have in America.they simply have no other choice but to suck it up and move on. Its sad to know that people on the other side of the world are being brain washed as we speak. The government starts teaching children to hate Americans by the time they get into secondary school.]]> 2018-01-26 05:16:35 UTC https://padlet.com/fuentesnathalie479/NorthKorea/wish/224936598
