The statement slammed the Japanese government for seeking to delete a law enforcement regulation which serves as a ground for applying the tuition-free program to Korean schools and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan for zealously conspiring with this move. It went on:

To deal with children's education in a discriminative manner according to political issues is in breach of Japan's Constitution and the International Treaty on Human Rights. This is, at the same time, racial discrimination against other nationalities banned by the Treaty on the Abolition of Racial Discrimination.

The U.N. Committee on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination expressed concern over the Japanese government's exclusion of the Korean schools only from the tuition-free program in 2010.

The statement urged the Japanese government to apply the program to the Korean schools at an early date.
