Education in the DPRK is strictly controlled by the government. Children go through one year of kindergarten, four years of primary education, six years of secondary education, and then on to universities. The most famous university is Kim Il-sung University. Other notable university is Kim Chaek University, which focuses on computer science, Pyongyang University of foreign studies, which trains working level diplomats and trade officials, and Kim Hyong Jik University, which trains teachers.
Students in North Korea must attend school for 11 years, beginning at age 5. Students must wear uniforms provided by the government, and many students receive room and board from their government.
Students study music, art, math, the Korean language, and social education. Social education includes studying about the former leader Kim Il Song, and "Communist Morality". In later years they learn about the policies of the communist party. Social education also provides students with a controlled environment in which to learn.
Finally, I think education controlling of North Korea is mad. Because, students will be protected from bad or unplanned influences. Because of communist is not freedom system. All in all, Education of North Korea is failure.
