The work, published on Jan. 11, Juche 79 (1990), comprehensively expounds the ways to substantially conduct the education in the advantages of the socialist system of our country, the education in the Korean nation-first spirit, the education in revolutionary traditions and class education in conformity with the socio-political situation of the Korean revolution.

Two decades since the publication of the work were the immortal annals in which the wise leadership of Kim Jong Il, who has strengthened the political and ideological positions of the Korean revolution with the might of ideology in every way, was powerfully demonstrated, the article says, and goes on:

The Korean People's Army and the Korean people made shining victory in the drive for defending socialism while frustrating the imperialist reactionaries' vicious sanctions and moves to stifle the DPRK. They also created the heroic epic of great leap forward and innovation with the faith in sure victory that if they overcome difficulty, they can enjoy happiness. These would have been unthinkable without the tested leadership of Kim Jong Il who instilled into them the idea and will to overcome the tempest of history.

His wise leadership whereby he brought about a great leap forward by dint of ideology lies in that he made sure that the principle of ideological education was firmly established as required by the era and its forms and methods were steadily improved.

It is the firm will of Kim Jong Il to open the gate to a thriving nation without fail by speeding up to the utmost the advance of a great surge with the might of ideology, the article says, adding that the Korean people will dynamically advance toward the high peak of a thriving nation by leaps and bounds in the future, too, under his wise leadership.
