The editorial goes on:

The WPK has consistently held fast to the strategic line of prioritizing science and technology since it started the building of a thriving country.

Our Party's idea of establishing the viewpoint and working manner of valuing science and technology as social customs is based on the scientific analysis of existence and development of the country and nation in the age of knowledge-based economy.

For all the people, to acquire a proper attitude towards science and technology is a prerequisite for establishing social customs of prioritizing science and technology.

It is important to create the atmosphere of respecting and treating scientists and technicians preferentially in the whole society.

Now the sci-tech front is the first one in defending the Party and revolution and accomplishing our cause and scientists and technicians are the main force. It is thanks to the vanguard role of scientists and technicians that the state's strategic position was raised onto the highest level and happy future of our people is being brought earlier.

It is necessary to thoroughly establish the climate of valuing education in the whole country.

Education is the mother of science and technology, the atmosphere of valuing science and technology precisely means the one of prioritizing education.

Under the Party's slogan of "Let us make a leap forward by dint of science and guarantee the future by dint of education!" we should raise the flames of bringing about a great radical improvement in education.

Officials should take the lead in establishing the said viewpoint and working manner as social customs.

The editorial calls upon all the people to raise the country's science and technology onto the world level and effect a fresh turn in building a powerful socialist country at an early date by thoroughly implementing the Party's intention to establish the viewpoint and working manner as social customs.
