| Musical Talent and Athletic Score Key in North Korean University Admission (2015/05/29)
North Korea benefits from a skilled population trained during 12 years of compulsory education. As citizens reach adulthood, the state designates them for a job, schooling or service based on ability and national need.
This is a singing competition at Pyongyang’s Kang Pan Sok Revolutionary School.
Don’t underestimate the importance of this performance. Music and sport is one of seven subject areas for admissions to university. It accounts for one-seventh of total assessment weighting.
Other subjects are history, geography, foreign languages, math, physics and chemistry, and the writings and revolutionary accounts of past leaders Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il.

North Korea’s university entrance exam is like a composite version of Taiwan’s general proficiency test and advanced subjects test. Pre-exam is in January, the actual exam is at the end of February and results are available in March.
High school in North Korea lasts three years. There are six classes a day, six days a week. Each subject is important.
After 4 o’clock, students engage in extracurricular activities, which primarily consist of sports and arts.
For the handful of students admitted, college is a ticket to a desirable public position. Those who come up short on the entrance exam face seven or more years in the military or a job as a general laborer.
In Taiwan, prospective college students hone their test-taking skills in cram schools. In North Korea, where the college admissions rate is just 20 percent, there are no such private institutions.
Kim Hye Kyung
Kang Pan Sok School Spokeswoman
During extracurricular activities in the afternoon, the school arranges math and literature classes to further strengthen our students.
The additional classes are one reason why 60 percent of Kang Pan Sok Revolutionary School’s graduating class was accepted to university, the highest rate among all schools in Pyongyang. Both China and Russia have praised the students produced by North Korea’s 12-year compulsory education program.
For students accepted to college, all costs are covered by the state. There are stipends and school-issued gray uniforms, with black shoes for men and high-heeled shoes for women.

College uniforms must have a red tie. In summer, women wear traditional Korean outfits modified to have a short skirt.
While the uniform adds an air of professionalism, it comes with sacrifices. Before graduation, women’s hair cannot extend below the shoulders. Some male students who are obviously older than their peers spent up to a decade in military service before retaking the college entrance exam and beginning their studies anew at age 28.
There are more than 40 universities in North Korea. The two leading schools are both in Pyongyang: Kim Il-sung University and Kim Chaek University of Technology.
When selecting a future husband, women look for men who have completed military service, joined the party or gone to college.
Hwang Cheol
Pyongyang Guide
Following graduation, most of us are happy to serve in the military. After all, protecting the homeland is the greatest form of patriotism. For us, the homeland is the embrace of the beloved comrade Kim Jong-un. Therefore, we are all willing to serve.
Unlike most nations, in North Korea the government designates the work and profession each citizen undertakes. These decisions are made at key moments in life, whether during military service or at the completion of high school or college. Citizens don’t discuss their ambitions or individual ideals. They live for the nation and struggle for the nation.

| 北朝鮮升學重體育音樂 職業國家指派
北朝鮮實施長達十二年的義務教育，人人至少高中畢業，使得北朝鮮的人力素質有一定水平。但在這個極致的社會主義國家，個人的職業不是自己選擇，而是國家選擇，決定的時機，就在當過兵，或高中、大學畢業之後，因此，能不能考上大學，很是關鍵。但大學錄取率只有兩成，其中，音樂才藝和體育分數，還佔了七分之一的考試比重呢！2015北朝鮮系列的獨家採訪報導。
這是平壤康磐石高中女生的歌唱才藝表演
請別小看這群高中生的才藝表演，因為它是北朝鮮大學入學考試七科中的一科，占了七分之一的比重，
其他考招的科目，還有歷史、地理、外語、數學、理化，以及金日成主席、金正日將軍著作、革命歷史。
[[民視新聞部胡婉玲經理]]
“北朝鮮大學入學考試，近似台灣學測和指考的綜合版，一月預考，二月底正式考試，三月放榜”
北朝鮮高中課程三年，每周上課六天，每天上六門課，每一節課都得重視。
尤其下午四點以後的課外活動，是運動時間和練習才藝。
因為大家都想擠進大學窄門，能進大學的，將是國家重用的高材生，考不過的，得當兵七年以上，或是就此當工人去。
想擠進大學，在台灣，可以找補習班，在這裡，升學率平均只有兩成，卻沒有補習班這檔事。
[[康磐石高中發言人金惠景]]
“學校會在下午課外活動時，對學生另外安排數學、文學等課，加強學生”
學校自己幫學生補習，康磐石高中很驕傲地說，他們的升學率突破百分之六十，傲視平壤所有高中。其實，人人高中畢業的義務 |
