The participants of the meeting watched a video showing the actions of Koreans and students in Japan and Japanese citizens for the settlement of the issue of the above-said program.

Kim Sun On, chairman of the Tokyo Union of Korean Educational Association in Japan, in a report called for widely informing a broad strata of Japanese citizens in various parts of Japan of the justice of the actions for the application of the above-said program to the Korean schools and making efforts to ensure by the concerted efforts of the parents of Korean students that the program is immediately applied to them.

Speeches were made by Fumihiro Himori, former member of the House of Representatives from the Social-Democratic Party of Japan, Seizaburo Eguchi, representative of the Tokyo Assemblymen's Liaison Society for the Promotion of Japan-Korea Friendship, Kiyoshi Nishizawa, vice-chairman of the Japan-Korea Society for Scientific and Educational Interchange, and Kazuo Hasegawa, representative of the Liaison Society for Protesting against Exclusion of Korean Schools from Tuition-free Program for Senior High Schools.

They slammed the Japanese government's behavior, charging that the exclusion of Korean schools from the program is an unreasonable discriminating act as it is linked with political issues which have nothing to do with the educational issue,

They declared that Japanese would actively solidarize with the Koreans in Japan in the actions for the prompt application of the above-said program to the Korean schools.

The floor was also taken by parents of Korean students and teachers and students.

At the meeting a written request to the Japanese prime minister and the minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology was adopted and an appeal to the parents of Korean students read out.
