The Hyogo Prefectural Committee for Measures for National Education and Hyogo Korean School co-sponsored an emergency rally of Koreans in Hyogo Prefecture on March 6 in protest against the proposal to exclude Korean schools from the tuition-free program for the senior high schools.

The reporter and speakers said at the rally that it is preposterous and unpardonable for the Japanese authorities to contemplate excluding Korean schools from the above-said tuition-free program, calling on all Koreans from all walks of life to pool all efforts to protest against the proposal.

A letter of request demanding the withdrawal of the policy of discrimination against Korean schools in Japan was adopted at the rally.

The managing director of Hiroshima Korean School, the principal of Hiroshima Korean Primary Senior High School and other Koreans at a press conference held at the Hiroshima City Office on March 5 denounced Japan's harsh suppression of Koreans in Japan and its national discrimination against them.

Then the teachers and students of Hiroshima Korean Primary Senior High School and their parents conducted street information service and a signature campaign at Hiroshima Railway Station in protest against the Japanese authorities' unreasonable attitude.

An emergency rally of Koreans in Hiroshima Prefecture took place on March 8 to call for assistance to the Korean schools.
