The speakers held that the action taken to exclude the Korean schools from the tuition-free program for senior high schools should be retracted as it is an unpardonable action for national discrimination. The right of the children to learning should not be linked with politics, they asserted.

Representatives of students of Korean schools delivered reports on their activities.

Then the floor was taken by representatives of organizations grouping Koreans of different circles and representatives of students of Japanese schools.
