A Chinese state-controlled newspaper shed light on North Korea's education system on Thursday, ahead of the North's key anniversary later this week.
North Korea expanded its universal and state-funded education system to 12 years from 11 years in 2013, offering a free education system which consisted of one year of kindergarten, five years of elementary school, three years of middle school and three years of high school.
The People's Daily, the mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party, carried an article that highlighted the North's 12-year universal education system, a day before a top Chinese official leaves for Pyongyang to attend the 70th anniversary of the founding of the North's ruling Workers' Party.
Liu Yunshan, a member of the Chinese Communist Party's politburo standing committee, will lead the Chinese delegation for the North Korean anniversary.
