Founded in October Juche 36 (1947), the school is an educational institution for the bereaved children of revolutionary fighters and patriotic martyrs who died fighting for the country’s freedom and independence, socialist cause and national reunification. It is also a centre for training the core elements of the Korean revolution.
Mangyongdae Revolutionary School, situated in Mangyongdae (meaning a lofty place of ten thousand views), looks as if it were in the cradle as it blends well with the surrounding landscape.
The school is well furnished with all the facilities and conditions necessary for the children to study and live—several buildings housing lecture rooms, labs and bedrooms, e-reading room, gymnasium, hall of culture and mess hall.
