One day in January, 1952, President Kim Il Sung called an official concern to instruct him to recall the soldiers of the People’s Army who were fighting battles in the front to send them to universities.
It was unthinkable in general knowledge to recall the soldiers from the fronts to send them to universities in the period of decisive battle with the US imperialists that were boasting of being “the strongest”.

According to this unprecedented measure, a great number of students and teachers who went out into the front holding the arms in their hands to defend the fatherland and people’s happiness were recalled.

The students who were recalled from the front prepared themselves fully in the rear as the talents who would contribute to the victory in the war, postwar rehabilitation and the general development of the country, with the great trust and expectation of President Kim Il Sung.
As a result, the Korean people who emerged victorious in the 3-years Fatherland Liberation War accelerated the postwar rehabilitation by depending on their own talents to humble the US imperialists who clamoured that Korea would not recover from the ashes even in hundred years.
