The statement said the Japanese authorities are working overtly and covertly to exclude kindergartens of the Korean schools from the list of "free-of-charge system of infant education and care" by invoking "Child Rearing Support Act" which will take effect from October.

The exclusion of the children of Koreans obliged to pay consumption taxes just like the Japanese people is an extremely unfair and heinous national discrimination, the statement noted.

Accusing the Japanese authorities of more viciously and persistently resorting to political suppression and discrimination against Chongryon and Koreans in Japan despite their lip-service to "dialogue" with the DPRK, the statement said such an act should never be tolerated.

Korean women and mothers will fight to the end to protect the rosy future of children and the flower garden of national education, the statement stressed.
