A meeting of mothers in the area of Aichi Korean Senior High School took place at Nagoya Korean Primary School on April 10.

Speakers at the meeting said it is evidently a violation of the law and a revelation of Japan's constant discrimination policy that the Japanese authorities have excluded only Korean schools from the tuition-free program for senior high schools.

The Japanese authorities should include Korean schools in the program in view of reparation for the past crimes, they said, expressing the will to intensify the struggle for it.

Members of the executive committee of the "emergency action against exclusion of Korean schools from the tuition-free program for senior high schools" held a meeting on April 16 after conveying the resolution and signature paper adopted at its March 27 meeting to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.

They demanded that the Japanese authorities not trample down upon the future of Korean students in Japan but include Korean schools in the tuition-free program and renounce the discrimination policy at once.

They called for lifting louder voice of solidarity to force the Japanese authorities to drop the policy of discriminating against Korean schools.

The chief director of the Fukuoka Korean Academy and others concerned of Korean schools and the vice-chairman and members of the Fukuoka Prefectural Japan-DPRK Friendship Association conveyed the letter of request and the 25,000-odd people signature paper addressed to the prime minister and the minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan to the Democratic Party of Japan and the above-said ministry separately on April 20.
