Summary: Against the backdrop of shifting geopolitical currents and domestic reforms, the October issue explores educational restructuring and human capital development under Kim Jong Un alongside evolving frameworks for unification education. The Special Interview with Lee Je-hoon, President of the National Institute for Peace, Unification, and Democracy Education, addresses engaging younger generations by organically linking peace, unification, and democratic values. The Trends and Analysis section evaluates secondary track differentiation under the Second 12-Year Compulsory Education Framework, distance retraining driven by the "all-people sci-tech talent" doctrine, and the post-marketization spread of private tutoring. Finally, historical literacy statistics highlight structural constraints on human capital formation, contrasting institutional reforms with informal educational realities.
