S. Korea's Unpopular Education Policy Denounced

Pyongyang, August 1 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Youth and Student Sub-Committee of the North Side Committee for Implementing the June 15 Joint Declaration issued the following statement Sunday:
The actions of youth and students and other people to have the university registration fee issue solved and the registration fee halved are sweeping across south Korea.
The south Korean youth and students are suffering from misfortune and pain more than others under the rule of the present regime.
A great number of students are dropping from the school unable to afford the tuition fee rising on annual basis. They are toiling and moiling at working places to earn money to pay for education.
It is the biggest crime to deprive the youth of their precious and urgent right to learn and to drive them to despair and death, far from injecting hope and vitality into them.
South Korean students should fight it out in solidarity with other people from all walks of life to throw Lee Myung Bak into the abyss of ruin and bring about a new society without registration fee, a society where everyone leads a genuine life, given ample opportunity of learning.
